“The introduction of the European Banking Authority’s Pillar 3 ESGEnvironmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. More risk disclosure requirements and increasing stakeholder demands is putting greater scrutiny on financial institutions to measure climate risk transparency across their banking book.

The new solutions from MSCI will help banks to familiarize themselves with the EBA’s expectations and their disclosure obligations.”
