Strategic Treasurers Alliance Press Release
Global Treasury Leaders Launch Alliance to Shape the Future of Corporate Finance
[London, UK] — 2 March 2026 — Corporate treasurers representing multinational organisations with a combined £1Trillion in market capitalisation have formed the Strategic Treasurers Alliance (STA), an independent international working group focused on shaping the future of the treasury profession.
The Strategic Treasurers Alliance brings together senior treasury leaders from across sectors and geographies to anticipate emerging financial, regulatory and sustainability challenges. Rather than reacting to change, STA aims to proactively define what a future-fit treasury function should look like.
By collaborating across industries, members will challenge conventional thinking, share insights and address the issues set to define global treasury leadership in the years ahead. The STA is focused on supporting treasurers and finance leaders as expectations evolve.
“I am excited to launch the STA because this network is bringing together thoughtful, influential practitioners who are collectively shaping the future of treasury, rather than simply responding to it,” said Joanna Bonnett, Group Treasurer, Straumann AG.
“Much of what treasurers are dealing with today sits in areas where guidance is still forming. STA enables practitioners to navigate those grey areas collectively, and to engage the broader treasury community in shaping what good looks like – so that emerging thinking becomes more consistent, grounded and ultimately usable in day-to-day decision-making.”
STA’s first initiative focuses on treasury cash emissions. The objective is to bring greater transparency, consistency and credibility to how financial institutions measure the climate impact of short-term cash and cash investments. Through this initiative, the alliance will:
• Improve clarity in measuring climate impact linked to treasury cash.
• Enable consistent reporting standards across financial institutions.
• Strengthen credibility and integrity in sustainability disclosures.
“The STA brings together treasurers who want to shape the future of the profession through collaboration, shared insight, and thoughtful leadership. By learning from each other, we can influence better decisions - not just for our organisations, but for the system as a whole.” Alex Ashby, Group Treasurer, WPP
To raise awareness and accelerate adoption, STA will actively engage with the global treasury community throughout 2026, presenting its findings at major industry conferences and working closely with leading treasury associations. The aim is to embed emerging frameworks and insights into educational materials, professional development programmes and day-to-day treasury practice, ensuring that new approaches move beyond theory into consistent, real-world application.
“I am proud to be a member of the Strategic Treasurers Alliance (STA) because it represents a step change for our profession - a forum where forward-thinking treasury leaders come together to challenge convention and set higher standards. By connecting capital stewardship, risk discipline, and sustainability within one shared agenda, we strengthen the impact of every decision and elevate treasury from a reactive function to a force that actively shapes what comes next.” - Royston Da Costa, CTP, Independent Treasury Advisor
