This measure includes developing and introducing clearly defined sustainability criteria for investments and asset management. This requires training your staff, integrating sustainability criteria into the advisory process and helping your customers develop an understanding of sustainability aspects. You can also implement suitable tools and systems, along with regular reviews and reporting to ensure compliance with the criteria (see "Objectifs et mesures pour des investissements et une gestion de fortune durables" for more details).
Integrating sustainability criteria into loans, mortgages and insurance policies requires revising lending guidelines and procedures to account for sustainability aspects. Set clear criteria for evaluating projects and companies to promote environmentally friendly and socially responsible loans, mortgages and insurance. Staff training, systematic integration into the advisory process, raising customer awareness and regular reviews are necessary to ensure implementation (see "Objectifs et mesures pour des crédits, hypothèques et assurances durables"for more details).
