This council includes prominent members of Spanish society such as the CEO of ICEX, the President of COFIDES, the Governor of the Banco de España and the Secretary General of the Tesoro and International Financing, among others.
According to Ballesteros, this appointment recognises the work of the Chair of Social Impact in building an ecosystem of impact investment and sustainable finance, as well as his work of more than 25 years in promoting ethical banking and responsible finance in Spain.
