We are a facilitator. For example, we touch those that need capital and those who provide capital and connect the two. And through that connection we can do a lot to further the social good, while we’re doing it.
Sandeep Patel, Managing Director, Banking, Consumer and Retail Group

By training top young Banking talent to identify and commercialise socially-conscious market solutions, we are preparing them to better serve our clients, who face increasing demand for industry insights and products that address them through technology. “We feel that social innovation skills are a vitally important aspect of development for this next generation of investment bankers and are proud to be forerunners in engaging in this unique kind of training,” said Ellen Gray, Program Manager for Banking Graduate Development.
