How can banks collaborate with other lenders and insurers to increase lending appetite for mid-size and SME traders? Is there growing pressure from NGOs and other pressure groups to push banks to finance certain commodities and vice versa? What would those implications mean for the commodity finance market overall?

2020 brought on a mixed bag from volatile oil prices to high-profile fraud cases all within the midst of a global pandemic. A combination of these factors has resulted in higher pricing margins with increased amounts of scrutiny as banks seek to minimize the financial risks they take on.

We put our panellists on stage to address three of the industry's most burning questions in relation to the ESGs: • Do countries have access to low-carbon technologies and the raw materials to expand green sectors? Which sectors cannot decarbonise ahead of the Carbon Border Tax? • How sustainable can supply chains realistically be, particularly in relation to their social impact? • What is needed for greater transparency with regards to ESG initiatives? How can approaches differ on a regional basis?
