Recently, SinoCarbon Innovation and Investment Co., Ltd. released the Insights into Climate-Related Information Disclosure of Major Commercial Banks in Asia (2024).
Against the backdrop of accelerating global climate governance, banks, as core engines of economic activity, have seen their roles and responsibilities become increasingly prominent. Climate-related information disclosure has become a critical bridge linking financial activities with low-carbon transitions. Based on research data from 50 representative commercial banks across Asia, the report provides the first comprehensive analysis of the latest progress and best practices in climate-related disclosures across four pillars: climate governance, climate strategy, risk management, and metrics & targets. The report aims to foster industry knowledge-sharing and support regulators in refining green finance and transition finance policies by mapping the banking sector's latest climate actions and strategic directions.
