Sustainable and Transition Finance Frameworks
An in-house classification structure for credible sustainable credit and investment books
Sustainable and transition finance frameworks are highly relevant for financial institutions as they provide a structured and consistent framework for financing the sustainable transformation of the real economy. They create clarity about which activities can be classified as sustainable or credible in the transition to a climate-neutral economy, thereby reducing uncertainties in capital allocation.

At the same time, they support compliance with regulatory requirements, promote transparency towards investors and supervisory authorities and strengthen the credibility of sustainable financial products. For financial institutions, these frameworks are therefore a key instrument for managing climate risks, developing sustainable business models and securing long-term value creation.
