#104 Anna Miazga: What is the New Role of the Chief Sustainability Officer?

In a post-Omnibus 1 European sustainability landscape, what does the new role of the Chief Sustainability Officer look like? 

In this episode of Frankly Speaking, Richard Howitt was joined by Anna Miazga, Chief Sustainability Officer of mBank Poland, which is the country’s fifth largest bank in terms of assets. 

Together they discussed why mBank is staying steadfast to its sustainability commitments and strategies in the current climate of retrenchment from ESG issues, and why the business case for sustainability is more relevant than ever. You’ll also hear about: 

• MBank's transition plan, including the importance of being honest about the obstacles and barriers the bank faces and how it is planning to tackle them 

• The importance of not forgetting the ‘S’ in ESG – and the bank’s priority of improving the resilience and financial health of its customers 

• Anna’s take on the European Commission’s proposed changes to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 

• Anna’s advice to new Chief Sustainability Officers coming into the job
