Panel Description: 
 
Environmental due diligence is becoming a critical risk management tool for
banks where once it was viewed as an optional ethical screen. Even as the
banking sector continues to cut jobs and cut budgets, many environmental
risk teams are expanding . Banks are looking toward a future where carbon is
more widely regulated, supply chains are globalized and harder to monitor,
and commodities flail between record highs and record lows. In this panel we
hear how Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, PWC and others are navigating this
new risk landscape.
