Colette Shirley, Director of Sustainability, Corporates & Markets, Bank of Ireland encouraged attendees to ensure sustainability is firmly on their business agenda: “At Bank of Ireland our focus is firmly on helping customers understand ESG responsibilities and opportunities, as we provide practical and useful solutions to allow them to consider long-term sustainability strategies to help address the challenge of transitioning to a more resilient, net zero economy.”
