GENEVA, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- REYL Intesa Sanpaolo announces the release of its third edition of FORWARD, a thought leadership publication that tackles key socio-economic issues. The latest edition addresses the global energy transition. 

François Reyl

The challenge of the transition to a green economy is a strategic priority for REYL Intesa Sanpaolo, which takes a science-based, data driven view of the issues. This latest edition of FORWARD (https://www.reyl.com/forward/) includes commentary, podcasts, and interviews with the Group's own corporate finance team to assess their views on the investment opportunity and their outlook for the sector.

As with previous editions, the report has collated the views of global experts and agencies to deliver an overview of the current situation and the challenges facing the transition. It includes a multi-polar geopolitical landscape that further complicates a fine balancing act comprised of competing political and economic priorities, the impact on climate and biodiversity, new rules and regulation as well as the need for capital.

The overriding message is that challenges persist, particularly in a year such as 2024 with numerous elections and competing priorities on an international scale. Notwithstanding the headwinds, renewables is a growing sector, attracting more attention, receiving increasing investment, and fuelling the growth of new technologies and alternative methods.

Commenting on the report, François Reyl, CEO of REYL Intesa Sanpaolo, commented: "I am proud to see the publication of our third edition of FORWARD on such an important topic that is gaining increasing traction and interest from both investors and policy makers alike."
