RBS boss Alison Rose vows to take 'bold action' on climate crisis

Rose tells staff she also aims to make bank 'more open' to help regain trust after string of scandals

The first female boss of a major British bank has pledged to make the climate crisis a priority as she took over the top job at Royal Bank of Scotland.

Alison Rose said she would build a more "open and, accessible and inclusive" bank following years of scandal at the state-owned lender. Rose said she would reveal her new strategy for the bank in the new year, but sought to draw a line under the past following the departure of Ross McEwan, who led the bank since 2013.
