Banks have faced considerable criticism for continuing to profit handsomely from their partnership with Big Oil in the face of a planetary climate crisis.

Companies are dropping sustainability-linked loans as they face a tougher regulatory environment.

Pourchet's duties include deciding the types of corporate and institutional clients to attract in BNP Paribas' Latin American region and ensuring the bank has the right teams and products to serve them.

Nash, the head of tech, media and telecom coverage, has no intention of ending her four-decade career anytime soon.

The UK bank is the latest to articulate the shifting zeitgeist among financial heavyweights who are increasingly pushing back against calls to shun the fossil fuel industry. Their view is that jettisoning high-emitting clients from balance sheets won't make those emissions disappear, and that bankers therefore need to work with polluters to help them decarbonize.

Under settlements with the SEC, Wells Fargo and BNP Paribas will pay millions of dollars in penalties for employees using unofficial communications like WhatsApp. In all 11 firms agreed to pay penalties, while the CFTC took separate actions.

Florence Pourchet has been with BNP Paribas for 30 years, and is the bank's most senior female executive in the Americas. She has been the regional head of the bank's ESG initiatives since 2011.

As it walks away from retail here, the French bank wants to help business clients go abroad: “You have to be present.”

This is the second new job this year for Gallagher, who will remain in her current role as chief conduct and control officer until a replacement is found.
