Sustainability in banking

Sustainable revolutionising the financial world

New opportunities and challenges for banks through sustainability trends

Sustainable is making its way into the financial world, offering new opportunities and posing new challenges. In addition to regulatory requirements and disclosure obligations, sustainability trends are affecting all business areas, processes and IT systems. Banks are having to take a holistic view of the challenges of our time.

Our holistic approach enables pragmatic implementation of sustainability trends and identifies four areas in which banks can systematically and consistently accelerate the development of sustainable banking:

  • Development of a sustainable bank strategy and governance
  • Mapping of environmental, social and governance risks
  • Development and implementation of intelligent data and target operating models for sustainable banking
  • Use of a range of sustainable products and services

With this holistic approach, which is oriented towards individual challenges and opportunities, you can ensure benefit-oriented implementation of the sustainability trend and create transparent added value for customers and employees.

  • Step 1

    Requirements analysis and creation of the target model

    In a first step, we deal with the validation of the ESG targets as well as the definition of the ambition level. This is followed by the definition of the KPI's and use cases as well as a Listing of data requirements and data providers. The first step is completed by performing a gap analysis and determining the ESG data sensitivity.

  • Step 2

    Data Sources and Operating Mode

    The second step starts with the identification of the data sources for the creation of central ESG data budgets, followed by the design of the data and/or system architecture and the development of the target operating model. This is followed by technology selection and identification of data sources for the creation of the central ESG data budgets.

  • Step 3

    ESG control and reporting

    The third step starts with the specification of the report types, the definition of the ESG scope and the report contents. In addition, the calculation and explanation of the institution-specific KPIs takes place, before finally linking the relevant ESG data and processes to a reporting management system.

  • Step 4

    Implementation, integration and testing

    The fourth step begins with the creation of the functional and/or technical requirements for the technical solution. This is followed by implementation and integration of the ESG data into the existing infrastructure, followed by testing and troubleshooting. Finally, the introduction of the new technology takes place.
