RISK & RESILIENCE
Safeguarding the future of finance Angela sees a deeper problem brewing in how sustainability and compliance are communicated to the public:“ We’ ve reached a point where it’ s less about the politics you want to see and the society you want to see and build, and more about creating emotion.”
This emotional discourse, coupled with legal instability, makes it harder for companies to commit to long-term ESG investments. Yet the regulatory direction is clear: supply chains, including their financial components, must uphold transparency and human rights.
For Lloyds, the next 12 to 18 months will be about integrating services to better support clients.
“ We’ re entering a transformative phase at Lloyds,” reveals Mansour.“ This integration is more than structural – it’ s strategic.”
Regulatory compliance, digital innovation and sustainability are converging to reshape finance supply chains.
Today’ s financial institutions face a complex balancing act. They must prioritise transparency, perform diligent risk assessments and stay agile in adopting new technologies – all while navigating rapidly shifting geopolitical landscapes and increasingly fragmented regulations.
With so much at stake, leadership teams must respond with clear strategies, a strong commitment to resilience and a collaborative approach that brings together expertise across all levels.
