Why ESG is just hype - or IS it?
Arno Daehnke, Group FD Standard Bank
Arno Daehnke, Group FD
Before taking on the role of group financial director at Standard Bank, I headed up the banking group’s Treasury and Capital Management function. I have extensive experience in key financial aspects such as financial planning under varying macroeconomic scenarios, managing a complex banking group balance sheet in volatile financial markets and a deep understanding of both local and international bank regulatory frameworks.
Prior to joining Standard Bank, I was one of South Africa’s leading seismologists, using mathematical models to interrogate how shocks move through rocks.
For my work as the group FD of Standard Bank, I was nominated for the 2019 CFO Awards, and again for the 2022 CFO Awards.

Yota Baron, CFO
CFOs are financial stewards and often the public face of their company's performance. As such they are at risk of being seen as more preoccupied with financial than moral concerns. For this reason, they should make moral concerns an explicit part of their leadership agenda. CFOs share their views and experiences.

"During these times of great uncertainty being able to look for alternative mode of transports, routes or simply new carriers is vital to keep the flow of goods alive. Collaboration is becoming more important than ever in logistics where all the stakeholders need to share the same data to avoid disruptions and bottlenecks. Speed is becoming essential to react to any peak in demand. To be able to increase your warehouse throughput you must increase efficiency by optimizing your warehouse processes while keeping the costs down. Finally finding new ways to reach your customers, exploring e-fulfilment or simply digitalize the last mile delivery is crucial."
