Climate and nature-related risks

For larger grants and loans, we require a more detailed account of how your company manages climate- and nature-related risks. Your company must demonstrate a holistic approach to issues involving responsible business conduct and climate- and nature-related risks. This also applies to all large companies covered by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), regardless of the amount applied for.

A holistic approach means that your company has established a systematic process for managing sustainability risks, including climate- and nature-related risks:

  • Risk identification: You have mapped all potential risks that naturally arise from your activities, without taking existing measures into account.
  • Risk assessment: the company has assessed the severity of the identified risks and how they may affect its operations and strategic objectives.
  • Risk management: The company has developed strategies and measures to reduce or eliminate these risks, with clear objectives and implementation methods.

The questions below provide guidance to help you address climate- and nature-related risks in your applications.
