Sustainability Talks is RMB’s thought provoking series that explores the realities, opportunities, and complexities of sustainability in practice. Hosted by Michael Avery, and featuring leading voices from finance, policy, and industry, the series moves beyond broad sustainability narratives to examine how environmental and social considerations shape real-world decision-making.

Across the series, we unpack topics such as sustainability innovation, transition finance, social equity, carbon markets, adaptation finance, and the role of data in enabling informed, credible action. Each conversation brings practical insight and an African context, reflecting RMB’s approach to sustainable finance – partnering with clients to navigate complexity, assess credibility, and unlock opportunities that deliver both commercial value and long-term impact.
