In the Sustainability Report for 2022, which has now been published, NORD/LB has specified its approach to implementing these goals. For example, internal ESG competence centres were created last year to deal with the ESG strategic orientation of the bank, as well as with topics such as ESG risks, the EU taxonomy and CO2 accounting. In addition, a sector-specific risk analysis was conducted for initial sectors and client questionnaires with a sector-specific ESG focus were introduced. In addition, the bank has expanded its range of sustainable financing products and developed ESG KPIs to measure the bank's sustainable business share. These and other measures will be further developed in the current year in order to make an active contribution to the transformation towards a low-emission and climate-smart economy and society.
Irrespective of this, NORD/LB has been financing projects in the area of renewable energies for over 30 years and has thus been making an active contribution to managing the energy transition for a long time.
