Ecobank
Most banks treat climate as a problem to manage. Ecobank treats it as intelligence to leverage. Across 35 African markets, the banking giant is embedding climate data into every credit decision, sovereign assessment, and investment choice—not to tick compliance boxes, but to identify where capital can work hardest. The result is a new breed of banking: one that profits from resilience, scales with sustainability, and turns Africa’s climate vulnerabilities into competitive advantages.
