IMPROVE Climate Performance

Set up operational tools to improve the climate performance of activities. Financial institutions track and monitor indicators tied to climate change priorities, including GHG reporting, lending and advisory volumes supporting green investment, asset allocations, and the institution’s own climate footprint.

OVERVIEW

Principle 4: IMPROVE climate performance — emphasizes the need for a financial institution to have the appropriate operational tools, as well as systems to track, monitor and incorporate climate considerations into day-to-day operations. Without such tools, an institution may be unable to understand, assess and quantify its climate performance. operational tools and results frameworks to assess performance are an important first step to understanding, and ultimately improving overall institutional performance related to climate change.
