Celebrating Five Years of the UN Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) The UN Principles for #ResponsibleBanking offer a comprehensive approach to addressing sustainability risks and managing impacts in a bank’s portfolio. They set out actions for the global banking industry, guiding institutions towards becoming a responsible bank, and positioning them as leaders in the transformation our economies need for people and planet. This strategic sustainability framework provides clear, adaptable, and credible solutions tailored to banks at any stage of their sustainability journey regardless of size or location - in this way it is different to reporting frameworks. Over 340 banks - representing more than 50% of global banking assets - have chosen to implement the Principles, embedding sustainability at the core of their business and operations. As we begin to celebrate #5yearsofthePRB, we will continue highlighting how signatory banks are putting the Principles into practice and sharing the resources UNEP FI provides to help with their implementation. Learn more about the Principles here: https://ow.ly/4QEp50SXw4s
