Die Klimakrise ist tagtäglich präsent, und die Verringerung der CO2-Emissionen steht im Mittelpunkt vieler wirtschaftlicher Bemühungen. Doch wir zerstören unseren Planeten auch auf andere Weise, vor allem im Bereich der Artenvielfalt. Heute leben 60 Prozent weniger Wirbeltiere auf der Erde als 1970, und die Zahl der Fluginsekten ist in Deutschland in den letzten 30 Jahren um mindestens 75 Prozent zurückgegangen.

The topic of embedded payments has been occupying the industry for several years. Providers such as Uber, Amazon and eBay have been using embedded payments to simplify the individual user journey for their customers for some time now and are making the payment process increasingly invisible – and the trend is rising.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is not only a word monster, but will soon become an important component for the IT security of banks. The regulation came into force on 16 January 2023, and from then on financial companies will have 24 months to implement all regulatory requirements. All with one goal: to minimise vulnerability to ICT disruptions and cyber threats. We asked ourselves what financial service providers will have to face in the coming months.

Sustainable construction financing is becoming more and more popular. This means that financing sustainable construction should become increasingly important. One would think so. It should be strictly and clearly regulated. One would think. But: as in so many areas related to sustainability, a lot is still in the making. Time for Dennis and Dirk to talk about this in the podcast with Carsten Zimmermann (Bundesverband Baufinanzierung e.V.).
