Overview

As With the EBA Guidelines on the management of ESG risks now being applied, banks are expected to integrate climate and environmental risks into their core risk processes, from credit decisions to collateral valuation and the ICAAP. The key question for many institutions is no longer whether to do this, but how to do it in a proportionate way.

Join Czech SIF and the Czech Banking Association (ČBA) for a webinar with Tibor Fejes of ECB Banking Supervision, based on the ECB’s recent compendium of good practices in climate-related and environmental risk management.

The session focuses on concrete practices observed at European banks, with an emphasis on proportionality and resource-efficient solutions that are directly applicable to mid-sized and smaller banks in the CEE region. Instead of a broad overview, the presentation covers four selected good practices and uses them as a starting point for an open discussion about the challenges faced by Czech banks.

Key Topics

• Credible Transition Plans: Assessing both the ambition and the credibility of client transition plans, and linking the results to credit terms.

• Managing Misaligned Clients: How banks track and manage clients that are falling behind their decarbonisation pathways, from client dialogue to limit adjustments and escalation.

• Data Quality and Sourcing: Building high-quality, structured client data in a market where public sustainability reporting remains limited.

• Physical Risk at Asset Level: Quantifying physical risk using hazard, vulnerability and exposure data, including public climate data sources and insurance coverage as a key risk mitigant.

• Chief Risk Officers and heads of credit risk

• Risk managers responsible for ESG methodology, modelling and the ICAAP
