ENHANCING OUR COVERAGE
As we further implement our low-carbon transition strategy, we continue to enhance our abilities to meet client needs through 
both deepening expertise in our existing teams and establishing new teams specializing in green and other transition-related 
areas. For example:
• 
Our CIB CCT plays a key role in driving implementation of our emissions intensity reduction targets and engaging with cli-
ents on sustainability-focused financing, research and advisory solutions to help guide their long-term business strategies. 
This includes providing strategic advice on clients’ long-term business strategies and related carbon disclosures, as well as 
partnering with industry and product teams to structure unique financing products across public and private capital mar-
kets. The CCT has accountability to senior leadership in the CIB and CB and works in close partnership with teams across our 
Firm to drive achievement of our targets.
• 
Formally launched in 2021, our CB Green Economy Banking team is a specialized industry coverage team established to drive 
the Green Economy client franchise by providing subject matter expertise, connectivity to bank products and solutions and 
specialized credit underwriting efforts to the growing number of companies primarily focused on sustainable technologies, 
products and services. Over the past year, the team has grown in the U.S., while also laying the groundwork to expand inter-
nationally. Green Economy Banking is currently aligned with five sectors – renewable energy & carbon, efficiency technol-
ogy, sustainable finance, sustainable agriculture & food technology, clean energy mobility – and senior Green Economy 
bankers have assigned sub-industry coverage within these sectors. The team’s mission is to identify and support emerging 
and established growth companies in these key sectors. 
In the following section, we highlight additional teams around our Firm which are providing sustainability-focused solutions for 
our clients and customers.
Next Steps
In 2022, we intend to release a dedicated climate report, informed by the recommendations of the TCFD, which will include 
progress updates on our emissions intensity reduction targets and our next steps in expanding to additional sectors.
