VISION
As a leading long‑term European partner for its customers and a leader in sustainable finance, the CIB division aims to become the leading European player among the major global investment banks, as well as the preferred partner of its customers in their transition to a sustainable economy.
The CIB division has four priorities:
- Consolidate its Top 3 position in the Europe‑Middle East‑Africa (EMEA) market
- Be the go‑to bank for our EMEA clients in all regions
- Be the go‑to European bank for our EMEA clients in the Americas and Asia‑Pacific (APAC) regions
- Be the leader in sustainable finance and technological platforms
STRATEGY
Serving this ambition, CIB continues to roll out a strategy in line with the previous plan based on three priorities:
- Capitalise on the Group’s diversified and integrated model
- Leverage its ability to connect its corporate and institutional franchises
- Gain new market share in a consolidating sector
To implement this strategy, CIB is capitalising on many levers, the main ones being its position as a reference partner in the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) transition, the continuous strengthening of its technological platforms and the optimisation of its operating model. Accelerating inter‑regional dynamics and strengthening the equity franchise are also means of supporting the strategy.
