INDUSTRIES

Financial Services

A bank with a strong corporate lending portfolio had limited capacity to assess environmental and social risks, as regulation, including the Green Asset Ratio, raised expectations on sustainable finance readiness.

Financial services sustainability and finance strategy

THE CHALLENGE

Legacy risk models, rising expectations

Credit models excluded climate considerations, ESG scoring was inconsistent, and green lending was minimal. The bank lacked forward-looking scenario analysis, climate risk quantification, and a sustainability management system, exposing it to reputational, compliance, and market risk.

Legacy risk models

Fragmented sustainability data

Limited green product range

No climate scenario capability
