Kempen’s Johan Cras appointed Transparency Task Force Ambassador

The Transparency Task Force is the collaborative, campaigning community dedicated to driving up the levels of transparency in financial services, right around the world. Founded by Andy Agathangelou in 2015, the London based Transparency Task Force aims to harness the transformational power of transparency to boost the quality and trustworthiness of the financial services industry.

Johan Cras commented: ‘Transparency within the financial services industry is an important initiative and one that Kempen has championed for a number of years. I’m proud to be working with the broader team at the Transparency Task Force in order to achieve greater levels of transparency in the industry. It’s imperative all stakeholders continue to take a critical look at how we can better deliver transparency for the ultimate benefit of our clients.’

Andy Agathangelou, Founding Chair of the Transparency Task Force commented: “The sector desperately needs to rebuild trust and confidence so it is vital that progressively-minded thought leaders stand together to raise standards of conduct and professionalism. The high ethical standards that are integral to the way that Johan operates means he is an important new Ambassador; his values-based leadership is authentically aligned to driving better outcomes for clients and that is precisely the mindset that will enable the sector to be reformed from within.’
