Sustainable Banking
Banks are emerging as a driving force in the sustainability effort. The industry is uniquely positioned to meet the challenge—and the opportunity.
This is the moment. Banks are feeling pressure from all sides and now understand that unfettered climate change will bring catastrophic environmental impact and dire macroeconomic consequences. Banks must do more than talk about green initiatives; they must now demonstrate they can meet strict standards when it comes to climate risk reporting.
Banks that visualize and execute their sustainability agendas now will have first-mover advantage in the race to meet their sustainability goals.
Banks that lead in sustainable finance will strengthen public trust, stay ahead of regulatory expectations and have significant growth opportunities.

ESG data is notoriously complex and constantly evolving because of the lack of consistent taxonomy and standards. All institutions, including banks, need good data to measure progress and understand their environment, from supply chain to customers. Having the right data at the right place at the right time in the hands of the right people is critical.
In this video, HSBC explains how Accenture has partnered with them to drive HSBC’s sustainability strategy using ESG data as an enabler. Part of this is taking a proactive approach to managing these data challenges by having a centre to coordinate all ESG data requirements for the entire bank. This means they can coordinate, source, and demystify some of the data in a central place so that everyone speaks the same language.
