PAYMENTS : ESG considerations

In this slideshow we introduce ESG ratings on the payments sector. In this industry, environmental issues take a step back compared to social and governance ones. Indeed, due to its highly regulated nature and the fast pace of innovation, employee satisfaction, retention, training, and supervision is of the utmost importance. Edenred and Worldline both provide a slew of data, and have clear quantified targets for the future. Both have been assigned green rating in all categories. On the contrary, Adyen does not disclose a lot of data, and does not have a clear detailed public plan in place on those matters, leaving us with no choice but to assign orange ratings in environment and social, despite the great performance in governance.

Bryan Garnier

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
