Overview
As banks adapt to new regulations and changing market dynamics, transition plans have become essential for shaping long-term strategies, engaging stakeholders, and managing risks. These plans outline how institutions intend to align their business models with a ‘net zero’ economy, incorporating sustainability into their governance, products, and services. In response to global initiatives aimed at improving the transparency and credibility of banks’ net zero commitments, the EU has introduced a range of new requirements, including corporate disclosure (CSRD), due diligence (CSDDD), and prudential transition risk (CRD6) regulations. Navigating this evolving regulatory framework presents significant challenges for banks and other financial institutions (e.g., insurers), prudential supervisors, and firms across the real economy, where decarbonization is essential for the transition.
