THREE more industry professionals have joined the Guernsey Green Finance ‘20 for 20’ business leaders for sustainable finance network.
The aim of the network is to build a community of business leaders committed to action to catalyse the development of Guernsey’s green and sustainable finance sector.
New member Annette Alexander, a partner at law firm Carey Olsen, said: ‘The 20 for 20 Group is a fantastic initiative and shows that Guernsey is serious about remaining at the forefront of developments in the green and sustainable space.’
Carey client director Rebecca Booth said: ‘Green finance aims to help tackle climate change by focusing on environmentally-driven investments. The financial expertise and international appeal of Guernsey gives us a fantastic platform to contribute to global developments in this area and I’m thoroughly looking forward to helping progress this initiative.’
Linda Ogier, vice-president, JP Morgan Administration Services (Guernsey), is the third new member of the network. She is a member of the Guernsey Investment & Funds Association executive committee and chair of GIFA’s education sub-committee.

By joining the 20 for 20 Group I welcome the opportunity to be part of the commitment and development of Guernsey Green Finance, and the opportunities it presents for green
and sustainable finance,’ she said.
