A major step forward for managing ESG Risks

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has just published its final Guidelines on managing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks. This is a significant milestone for financial institutions working towards a more sustainable future.

These Guidelines set out clear expectations for identifying, measuring, and managing ESG risks, helping institutions strengthen resilience and support the EU’s climate neutrality goal by 2050.

Key highlights on ESG risks guidelines:

  • Institutions are expected to create transition plans that address financial risks stemming from ESG factors
  • Internal processes and risk management arrangements will need to align with these new standards
  • Implementation timelines: 11 January 2026 for most institutions, with an extra year for small and non-complex institutions

Read the EBA announcement.
