Transparent reporting of sustainable actions
As a result of ever stricter regulations from the European Banking Authority, banks are obligated to evaluate the ESG criteria of their corporate clients, for instance when granting loans. This measure is an important step in transforming the economy in the direction of greater sustainability. However, the topic of sustainability is relevant for more than just lending. In future, companies will be increasingly required to make a contribution towards sustainability and, in particular, to make the details of this public.
The OeKB > ESG Data Hub provides companies with an opportunity to take the initiative and perform a sustainability evaluation according to ESG criteria. The results can then be made available to banks. The ESG questionnaires were developed together with Austrian banks by means of a participatory approach, and meet Austrian ESG data collection standards.
