ABA Telephone Briefing/Webcast*
As banks emerge from the banking crisis, many are looking for new growth opportunities in the green/sustainability sectors, as well as eco-friendly driven cost savings across their operations. Once perceived as experimental industries, Green technology, clean energy, and sustainable agriculture have gone mainstream, and banks with lending expertise in these areas will be in demand.
Two CEOs of dedicated green banks will discuss their green banking philosophy, operations, retail products, services, and commercial business lending. This is an opportunity to learn from experienced bank executives about the growing green
banking sector.
This recording of the live, two-hour Telephone Briefing/Webcast held on November 8, 2012 was divided into three parts: (1) an Introduction for Green Banking, (2) Bank Case Studies, and (3) Future Issues in Green Banking. Get your questions answered by our panel of industry leaders.
