绿色金融

CISL的金融体系工作伙伴包括全球银行、保险和投资业领导者,以及世界范围内的央行和金融监管者。

通过CISL银行业环境倡议,我们帮助银行业理解环境和社会风险如何影响其重要客户的商业表现,这些客户包括食品农业企业、能源企业和高耗能制造业等。这使得各银行能够识别其自身商业实践中的变化,包括新的金融产品开发。在中国,受中国银监会邀请,CISL与中国的前沿银行和大宗商品进口商合作,探究将社会和环境因素融入到贸易金融领域的国际最佳实践,以及如何将此经验应用到中国的国际大宗商品贸易和投资活动中。作为起始点,这项工作尤其聚焦农产品。 

CISL的保险业工作聚焦气候变化,主要体现在其保险业领导力小组,即气候智慧(ClimateWise)。我们帮助保险业领衔企业提高其对气候变化风险的认识,并识别其可以采取的措施,从而降低全社会面临的气候变化总体风险。2015年,CISL受英国审慎监管局的委托,设计了一系列行业研讨会,支持该监管机构在气候变化对保险业影响方面的开创性研究。该过程中的经验学习可以借鉴到世界其他市场。

CISL的投资业工作聚焦为投资者和社会带来长期价值的投资实践。与全球大型资产所有者和管理公司合作,我们发布前沿工具,帮助投资者计算气候变化对其业务的影响。我们开发了一套创新方法,使得投资者能够测量其投资对可持续发展目标的影响,并向客户们汇报该影响。

最后,CISL是G20绿色金融研究小组的知识伙伴,该小组由中国人民银行和英格兰银行联合发起。我们的关注点在于金融决策中的环境风险分析。我们对该金融行业议题的全球领先实践具有专业视角,基于此,CISL近期为中国工商银行的第一次环境压力测试提供了国际顾问意见。

Green Finance

Our work with the financial system includes work with leaders in the global banking, insurance and investment industries as well as Central Banks and financial regulators around the world.

Through CISL’s work with our Banking Environment Initiative, we help the banking industry understand how environmental and social risks are influencing the performance of key customers such as food and agricultural companies, energy companies and energy intensive manufacturing companies. This enables banks to identify changes in their own business practices, including new product development. In China, encouraged by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, we have been working with leading Chinese banks and Chinese commodity importers to explore how international best practice on the integration of social and environmental factors into trade finance practices can be adapted for use in China’s international commodity trade and investment activities. This work has taken a particular focus on agricultural commodities as a starting point.

Our work with the insurance industry focuses on climate change and is delivered through the insurance industry leadership group, ClimateWise. We help leading insurance companies to improve their understanding of climate change risk and then identify actions that they can take to help reduce the overall risks of climate change that society faces. In 2015, CISL was asked by the UK Prudential Regulation Authority to design a series of industry workshops to inform the regulator’s ground-breaking study the implications of climate change for the insurance industry. The learning from this process is transferable to other markets around the world.

Our work with the investment industry focuses on identifying investment practices that can deliver value for investors and society in the long term. Together with major asset owners and asset managers from around the world, we have published cutting edge tools to help investors calculate the impacts of climate change on their portfolios. We have developed an innovative methodology to allow investors to measure the impact of their investments compared to the Sustainable Development Goals and report that impact to their customers.

Finally, we are the Knowledge Partner to the G20 Green Finance Study Group, chaired by the People’s Bank of China and Bank of England. Our focus is on environmental risk analysis in financial decision-making. Drawing on the insights we have developed from our global stock take of leading practice in the financial sector on this issue, CISL recently provided international expertise to ICBC as it developed its first ‘environmental stress test’.
