Few sectors have demonstrated the same level of agility and resilience as the asset finance services industry. As if a global health crisis wasn’t enough, the pressing global concerns on climate change has become a very real and urgent priority for everyone and it is clear that the asset finance industry is taking their seat at the table in the race towards net-zero.
In order to future proof businesses from further disruption, accelerate sustainable innovation and securing repeatable and scalable results; access to reliable data and a comprehensive view of operations will be the essential differentiator to success.
However, in a volatile market, any industry is only as strong as the system it runs on. Digitalisation will change your market, business, skills requirements and customer engagement regardless of whether you, your team and your business are ready for those changes or not.
We are delighted to be joined by Jochen Jehmlich, CEO at Société Generale Equipment Finance, to explore how the asset finance community can come up on top, see their businesses through the next decade and play a pivotal role in driving a circular economy.
With over 20 years at Société Generale Equipment Finance and having secured the #1 position of Asset Finance International’s “Asset Finance Europe 50” ranking as well as this year’s winner of the “Best Bank for Sustainable Finance” category by Global Finance Magazine; Jochen is a leader with a clear vision and commitment in being a sustainable solution provider and reliable partner to clients during this crisis.
Throughout the pandemic, the Société Generale Equipment Finance’s #StrongerTogether programme has offered flexible financing to covert frozen pipelines into funded deals and thus ensuring that many of their clients could stay afloat during times of unparalleled uncertainty.
