UNEP FI: At the 2-year mark, over 40% of the banking sector is now committed to the Principles for Responsible Banking


We celebrate the Principles for Responsible Banking and the work of signatory banks as they continue along their 4 year journey of implementation.

We also welcome new signatories who now number almost 250 banks representing 40% of banking assets worldwide, and take a look forward to the report on collective progress, scheduled for publication in October this year.

The Principles are the world’s leading framework for responsible banking – unprecedented in their scale and scope, bringing banks across the world together to work on the most challenging and critical topics facing humanity and the environment. Since the establishment of the Principles, signatory banks have been working together to build the foundations, tools and industry guidance to forge pathways and guide the financial community towards the vision set out by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. 

Building foundations together

Since 2019, the Principles have grown from 132 founding banks to almost 250 banks, representing over 40% of banking assets worldwide. Signatories across six continents have been extensively collaborating to develop tools and guidance, breaking new ground and building industry best-practice across key sustainability topics.
