FRP 2023/405 - Sign. - ECB: banks must continue improving climate risk disclosures as new EU rules take effect
Aflevering 4, gepubliceerd op 30-05-2023 On 21 April 2023 the ECB published its third assessment report of the progress European banks have made in disclosing climate and environmental risks. Although banks have in the past year increased the information they publish, the quality of their disclosures is still too low to meet upcoming supervisory standards. The largest European banks generally have better disclosures than their non-EU based counterparts, but they nonetheless fail to fully meet ECB expectations. European banks must prepare to comply with tighter EU rules on disclosures of climate and environmental risks that take effect this year. The implementing technical standards (ITS) on Pillar 3 disclosures, a set of reporting standards on environmental, social and governance risks issued by the European Banking Authority (EBA), will apply to most significant banks in the euro area. Eligible banks have to make their first disclosures under the new rules by the end of June 2023.
