Development of ESG strategy
Approach and tools:
Comprehensive diagnostics of current ESG practices:
- analysis of corporate policies, procedures and sustainable finance strategies
- assessment of the completeness of non-financial disclosures, including financed emissions (Scope 3 Cat. 15)
- audit of stakeholder communication channels (investors, regulators, clients) interviews and surveys with management, risk managers and key departments
Benchmarking and international comparison:
- comparison with international standards (GRI, SASB, TCFD, ISSB/IFRS S1/S2, ESRS, SDGs, UN Global Compact)
- analysis of practices of peer banks and industry leaders (including NZBA, PRI, PCAF)
- consideration of stock exchange and central bank requirements
Identification of material ESG topics and key risks:
- identification of priority topics for the bank (financed emissions, climate risks, social impact)
- consideration of operational, regulatory and reputational risks
Development of an ESG strategy and transformation roadmap:
- setting goals for sustainable finance and ESG risk management
- integration of Net Zero commitments (including financed emissions targets)
- design of initiatives: from quick wins to long-term steps
- establishment of KPIs for the Board of Directors, risk management and business units
Integration of ESG into the bank’s business model:
- embedding ESG targets into credit policy, investment decisions and risk management
- recommendations on ESG disclosure in line with investor, rating agency and regulatory expectations
Results:
- A completed ESG strategy and roadmap with KPIs integrated into the bank’s management system.
- Systematic management of ESG risks, including financed emissions and sustainable lending.
- Readiness for international and national requirements (ISSB/IFRS, ESRS, CBAM, NZBA).
- Improved positioning in ESG ratings and sustainable finance indicators.
- Reduced cost of capital and increased trust from investors, regulators and clients.
