Macquarie continues to support clients seeking to manage and respond to these environmental and social challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities. Drawing on our global network, sector expertise and strong record, Macquarie provides a diverse range of products and services with an ESG outcome to corporate, government and institutional clients.
