"An interesting development through COVID-19 has been that treasurers naturally have become more interested in non-financial counterparties too, as they seek to ensure the whole ‘ecosystem’ continues to operate."

2. Environmental concerns.

Originally, the system, or group of interconnected elements, formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their environment.
