When banking goes green, the whole world benefits

Powering sustainable banking with intelligent data solutions

A leading UK bank set an ambitious goal: to be the top financial institution driving sustainable finance and climate-conscious lending. However, fragmented data sources and legacy technology limited its ability to leverage climate intelligence for responsible decision-making. To overcome these challenges, the bank partnered with GlobalLogic to modernize its climate data infrastructure, integrating over 100 data sources into a secure, cloud-native platform. This transformation improved regulatory reporting, enhanced credit risk assessments, and empowered customers with data-driven sustainability insights.

Challenge

The bank faced several challenges in aligning its financial services with sustainability goals:

  • Disparate Data Sources – Climate-related data was scattered across 100+ internal and external sources, making integration and governance complex.
  • Legacy Infrastructure – Existing data solutions lacked the agility and scale needed for advanced analytics and regulatory compliance.
  • Regulatory Complexity – Increasing requirements for climate-related financial disclosures demanded a more robust reporting framework.
  • Customer Expectations – Businesses and consumers sought greater transparency and actionable insights to make greener financial decisions.

The bank needed a modern, cloud-native data architecture to achieve its sustainability goals that could unify data, improve governance, and drive intelligent decision-making.

Value Created

GlobalLogic led the technical design, orchestration, and development of a new climate data platform built on AWS and Snowflake. Over a 12-week engagement, we:

  • Designed a high-level cloud-native solution architecture to unify and govern climate data.
  • Developed data ingestion pipelines leveraging AWS-native and Snowflake patterns.
  • Conducted a proof-of-concept for advanced orchestration tools to streamline data workflows.
  • Supported the design and review of a scalable data model for climate intelligence.

Our Agile delivery team ensured flexibility, allowing rapid iteration, real-time progress tracking, and collaborative adjustments. The result was a modernized climate data warehouse capable of driving responsible lending, sustainable investment strategies, and regulatory compliance.

Impact

GlobalLogic’s data engineering expertise enabled the bank to:

  • Enhance responsible lending – Climate impact assessments now inform credit and lending decisions.
  • Improve regulatory reporting – The bank meets TCFD-aligned climate disclosure requirements with greater accuracy.
  • Empower customers – Businesses and consumers gain transparent insights for sustainable financial choices.
  • Boost operational efficiency – The modern cloud-native architecture reduces data processing time and costs.

Embedding sustainability into its core data strategy left the bank well-positioned to achieve its 2025 and 2030 climate targets while delivering tangible value to its customers and stakeholders.
