Barclays has announced the appointment of Isabelle Millat as the new Head of Sustainable Finance for both Global Markets and Barclays Europe.
According to ESG Today, based in Paris, Millat will oversee the growth of Barclays’ sustainability initiatives within Global Markets and lead the development of the sustainable finance franchise across Barclays Europe.
Barclays is committed to advancing its sustainable finance operations, integrating a variety of financial services including Equities, Fixed Income, Municipal Financing, and Securitization. These efforts are a part of a broader strategy to enhance the bank’s offerings in sustainable and transition financing.
Isabelle Millat brings extensive experience to her new position at Barclays. She joins from Société Générale, where she was the Head of Sustainability for Global Markets, after nearly 18 years of service. Her prior roles include Senior Consultant at Capgemini Consulting. In her new dual role, Millat will also be a member of the Barclays Europe Executive Committee.
Before joining Barclays, Millat’s leadership at Société Générale included significant contributions to their sustainability efforts, marking her as a prominent figure in sustainable finance. Her background in consultancy and expertise in market strategies will be pivotal in her new roles.
Barclays continues to enhance its focus on sustainable finance, evidenced by the recent formation of the Energy Transition Group and a new Sustainable Banking Group within its Capital Markets business. The bank has committed to facilitating $1 trillion in sustainable and transition financing from 2023 to 2030, having already delivered over £87 billion ($112bn) in green finance.
Barclays Head of Global Markets, Adeel Khan, commented on the appointment: “We are committed to the delivery of our sustainable finance strategy across Global Markets, which includes capturing new opportunities to deepen client relationships. Our investment in top talent, exemplified by Isabelle’s appointment, is central to supporting our growth ambitions. This is a first-class team that is already executing and driving significant momentum for clients, particularly in securitization and municipal financing.”
