Time for local banks to ‘run the green path’

I REFER to an article published yesterday, “Bank Negara urges financial industry to step up green project efforts” (online at bit.ly/star_bank), as well as a joint statement issued by Bank Negara Malaysia and the Securities Commission (SC) on Sept 15 on climate change (bit.ly/bank_climate).

I find that this is a commendable action indeed by the Joint Com-mittee on Climate Change (JC3) to communicate with stakeholders given the urgency for financial institutions to do their part in mitigating climate change.
