“One of the critical things in this crisis we’ve been trying to get across… is that we have to throw away the rule book. We’ve never seen this kind of crisis in our lives”
Ana Botín, executive chairman, Santander
“We were told that oil and gas prices would not drop despite the increasing competitive economics of electric mobility; we were told that developed countries could not change behaviours and had to maintain the same level of travels and consumption. YET, HERE WE ARE TODAY WITH NEGATIVE OIL PRICES AND VIRTUALLY ALL AIRPLANES GROUNDED to the runways around the world. How much longer will we be in denial – that the world can change, and that we can change?”
Hervé Duteil, chief sustainability officer, Americas, BNP Paribas
