Climate Report: our commitment for the climate change

The new report of Banca Ifis

The Climate Report presents Banca Ifis’ approach to managing climate-related risks and opportunities for investors and stakeholders. The document prepared voluntarily and now in its third edition, is aligned with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and further expands our ESG reporting.

The third edition of the Climate Report

We have published the report’s third edition, which consists of four pillars: governance, strategy, risk management processes, and the Bank’s climate change metrics and targets.

The 2024 report includes more detailed disclosure on risk management: on the one hand, regarding the methodologies applied with reference to materiality assessment and, on the other, regarding capital adequacy assessment processes (climate stress tests).

Another new feature is the methodological refinements in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which have made it possible to refine the methods for calculating KPIs and the coverage of quantitative and qualitative indicators.

 

What is the TCFD?

Set up in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), the body appointed to monitor and promote the stability of the global financial system, the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) decided to process a number of recommendations on reporting risks linked to climate change. The TCFD recommendations invite companies to communicate clearly, comparably and consistently any information useful to investors and stakeholders in order to correctly assess the risks and opportunities linked to climate.

Our commitment to reducing emissions

The document also describes the emissions reduction strategy financed on the loan portfolio that the Bank has defined by being the first in Italy to adhere to the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), the initiative promoted by the United Nations to speed up the sustainable international banking sector transition.
