#Industryinsights EBA Publishes Report on ESG Risk Data and Standardisation Feasibility Today, the European Banking Authority (EBA) released a report assessing the availability and accessibility of ESG risk data and the feasibility of a standardised methodology for identifying and qualifying credit exposures to these risks. Key Insights: ?? Significant progress in ESG data availability, though gaps remain ?? More advanced methodologies for transition risk in corporate portfolios ?? Emerging standardisation in mortgage exposure assessments ?? Limited progress in quantifying ESG risks' impact on credit risk ?? Need for a phased approach to regulatory standardisation With policy initiatives like the CSRD and ESRS enhancing disclosure requirements, alongside greater transparency in ESG ratings, the financial sector is progressing toward more comprehensive ESG risk assessments.

Closing the $4.2 Trillion ESG Financing Gap: The Role of ISO/UNDP Guidelines Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires more than just mobilizing capital—it demands standardized frameworks to measure and manage ESG impact effectively. At the UNDP-ISO technical session in Barcelona, industry leaders, policymakers, and investors discussed the role of the ISO/UNDP Guidelines and forthcoming Management System Standards (MSS) in driving sustainability at scale. Why This Matters The global financing gap for SDGs stands at $4.2 trillion annually, highlighting the urgent need for impact integrity in financial decision-making. The ISO/UNDP Guidelines provide a structured approach to integrating sustainability into corporate strategies, aligning business operations with global ESG objectives. Key ESG Priorities Addressed: ? Measuring & Managing ESG Impact – A standardized approach to track sustainability progress. ? Aligning Financial Systems with SDGs – Ensuring capital flows into projects with real impact. ? Scaling Proven ESG Solutions – Establishing clear, actionable standards for organizations worldwide. What’s Next? These frameworks will play a crucial role at the upcoming Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in June 2025, where global leaders will push for greater sustainability accountability. The Bottom Line Integrating ESG principles into business and financial systems is no longer optional—it’s essential for long-term value creation and sustainable economic growth. By adopting ISO/UNDP Guidelines, organizations can ensure that every investment, policy, and strategy drives measurable impact. https://lnkd.in/g2FWnNQW Contact EcoActive for ESG Reporting - https://lnkd.in/gM2-M6cc #ESG #SustainableFinance #ImpactInvesting #ISO #UNDP #SDGs
