Editorial note

Editorial note, with Michael Dembinski and Dorota Kierbiedź

This issue of Contact Magazine Online looks at finance. BPCC members write about finance from their perspectives from across different sectors. Five key threads have emerged from their contributions to this issue:

Green finance – if the money you borrow can be shown to have beneficial effects for the climate when it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions – it will be cheaper. If not – it will cost you more. How will affect supply chains?
