Leveraging the Principles for Responsible Banking for CSRD implementation

UNEP FI has launched the UNEP FI-ESRS Interoperability Package, which helps banks take advantage of the close alignment between the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB), using UNEP FI’s Holistic Impact Methodology.

During this webinar, an overview and tour of the resource pack will be provided, including a user guide, topic and data point mappings, as well as a conversion tool that will extract relevant data points from the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact Analysis Tool for Banks (Version 3) for CSRD reporting.

EU legislation, through the CSRD, requires companies to disclose information on what they consider to be risks and opportunities arising from social and environmental issues, and on the impact of their activities on people and the environment, supported by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

More than 175 European signatories to the PRB are subject to the CSRD; many others, in particular signatories with activities in the EU, will also be active in the future.

The requirements of the Principles for Responsible Banking, underpinned by the UNEP FI Holistic Impact Methodology, are very much in line with the requirements of the CSRD, especially the impact materiality assessment and disclosures, which are at the heart of the Directive and the Supporting Standards.
