"Crédit Mutuel Arkéa's dealing room plays an active role in the group's responsible financing policy, which serves the regions and their stakeholders. I'm very proud to be able to join a particularly committed and innovative team, which has enabled Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, for example, to be the first French bank to issue "NEU CP" Green short-term bonds to refinance green housing loans. Channelling savings and investments towards green assets plays a fundamental role in the path towards a low-carbon economy. We are going to pursue our commitment, in line with the Group's status as a company with a mission, as well as our close collaboration with all our structures, subsidiaries and local mutual networks, in order to design and distribute solutions adapted to the new economic equilibrium, the challenges of the current transition and the specific needs of our different types of customer."
