    Critères ESG : la guerre en Ukraine change la donne pour le secteur de l’armement

    Alors qu'elles se montraient jusque-là réfractaires à financer une industrie de la défense jugée peu conforme aux critères socialement responsables (ESG), certaines banques européennes ont changé de position après l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine. « L'industrie de la défense doit continuer à être bien financée, et les efforts des banques françaises, parmi les plus actives dans le monde dans ce domaine, le démontrent », considère la Fédération bancaire française. « Alors que nous alertons sur les difficultés de financement rencontrées par les industriels depuis deux ans maintenant, au niveau national et européen, nous observons un changement de perception générale », indique aux Echos Jan Pie, le secrétaire général de l'ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe).

The Army recently announced a $600,000 contract award for a new combat helmet padding system to Windpact, an impact technology company founded by former Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs. The contract falls under the Army's Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center program to improve soldier equipment. With the contract, Windpact aims to replace existing combat helmet impact systems with its patented Crash Cloud technology, an impact pad that uses a combination of foam and controlled air flow to provide enhanced protection at varying impact rates, according to a release. “I'm excited, because obviously when you're talking about the military, you're wanting to do something better for these soldiers who are suffering from traumatic brain injuries, concussions and any other forceful impacts ranging from bomb blasts to Humvee accidents,” Springs told Military Times.
