Seven in ten banks globally see their ESG (environmental, social and governance) efforts as having a positive impact on their market reputation and credibility, according to research by Avanade and Efma.

Yet, only 53% will be ready to report their ESG progress to regulators in the next six months. Less than one-fifth (15%) have also achieved net carbon zero operations, while 26% say they will be carbon neutral in the next 12 to 24 months.

Moreover, only 25% of banks globally have a climate risk model ready. Almost a third (32%) are struggling with the lack of integration of climate risk data with their risk management framework.
