New EBA guidelines: A milestone for ESG risk management
The European Banking Authority (EBA) recently released guidelines on the management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks, marking a key step in banking supervision.
WWF EU, in response to prior EBA consultations, successfully advocated for a single transition plan for improved consistency and clarity, as well as the integration of nature risks.
Chiara Pass, Sustainable Finance Policy Officer at WWF EU, says:
"The final Guidelines on ESG risks from the European Banking Authority provide a much needed clarification that banks ‘will need to develop a single, comprehensive strategic planning process that covers all regulatory requirements’. This can ensure consistency and simplicity, and drive synergies. In addition, EBA added a useful concrete tool for banks to develop their ESG risk plan, and nature is better integrated in the proposal.”
