Environmental commitments of Europe's largest banks

ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ overview report the environmental commitments made by Europe's biggest banks

In September 2015, all member states of the United Nations agreed to a 2030 Sustainable Development agenda, setting 17 main goals to ensure peace and prosperity to people and the planet. The OECD has estimated that approximately 6.9 trillion U.S. dollars in investments from both the public and private sectors are needed annually to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) by 2030.

Over the past years, a growing number of European and global banks have made commitments in accordance with the SDGs. This report looks at the individual goals set by some of Europe's largest banks in relation to targets that have an environmental impact. Included in this report are the measurable goals set by each bank as well as their progress towards reaching any targets set.
