How Nick is building a better working world

"Nick strongly believes that society’s expectations of the financial crime profession already significantly exceed what is required by regulation. Banks are seen as having a low ESG impact given their direct carbon footprint but a wholistic assessment should include the damage to society caused by enabling financial crime. As awareness of the impact of financial crime grows and definitions of crime broaden, banks will increasingly be judged on their contribution to the sustainable development goals and their ability to prevent criminals from stripping communities of financial resources, through the laundering of the proceeds of crime.

By working closely with Banks, ESG professionals and NGOs, Nick is committed to continuing to drive greater effectiveness in the fight against financial crime and make a lasting contribution to society."
