The role & work environment:
For ING, sustainability is a strategic theme leading the way to tomorrow’s economy. Our approach is to shift the mainstream portfolio towards sustainability and integrate it into all client relations and transactions. Many major companies have adopted sustainable business strategies to ensure long-term profitability. As a result, new sectors and business models are emerging that require creative financial solutions. Companies seek banks and investors to finance their transitions towards sustainability, creating profitable business opportunities for ING that also contribute to a sustainable global economy.
ING is highly ranked in sustainability indexes and is considered a leader in integrated sustainable business approaches. The Sustainable Finance team, which is growing, provides sustainable financing solutions through regional hubs in Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, New York, and Singapore.

6. Maintain data quality by updating internal databases and tracking market developments.
7. Support regional leadership in preparing internal and external profiles to promote ING’s sustainable initiatives.
