Why do we do it?

The financial services industry produces pertinent and valuable research which could, and should, be used by policy makers and NGOs who are shaping society’s response to long-term issues such as climate change and global pandemics. However, much of this research only sees the desks of a select few and all too soon disappears into the filing systems and cupboards of the commercial sector.

The London Accord allows access to this research free of charge - offering policy makers an insight which they may not otherwise access and giving the financial services industry a way of engaging with society on long-term issues. 

Who is doing it?

ABN AMRO, Acclimatise, Bank Sarasin, Barclays, Cambridge Center for Energy Studies, Canaccord Adams, Center on International Cooperation NYU, CA Cheuvreux, Credit Suisse, Glitnir, Herbert Smith, Hermes, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Next Earth Foundation, River Path Associates, Santa Fe Institute, Societe Generale, SP Angel, West LB
