Les Principes provide a framework for ensuring that banks’ strategies and practices align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change. Banks that have signed on to these Principles are committed to being ambitious in their sustainability strategies, working to normalize and integrate sustainability into the heart of their activities while staying at the forefront of sustainable finance advancements.
As part of the Principles, signatory banks identify and measure the environmental and social impact of their commercial activities, define and implement goals to identify and measure their impacts, and publicly report on their progress. The Principles provide a framework for banks to systematically understand the risks and seize the opportunities presented by the transition to more sustainable and responsible economies. Signatories of the Principles take on a leadership role, demonstrating how banking products, services, and relationships can support and accelerate the necessary and expected changes to achieve prosperity for current and future generations, building a positive future for both individuals and the planet. These banks are joining the largest global banking community focused on sustainable finance, sharing best practices and collaborating on practical guidance and innovative tools that will benefit the industry as a whole.
It is a significant and unprecedented journey at a time when such ambition is urgently needed to address the greatest global crises: climate change, nature loss, pollution, and social issues. Taken together, these collective efforts will ensure that profitability advances in tandem with a sense of duty.
“It is with great pleasure that we announce that CDG has joined the UNEP FI community by endorsing the Principles for Responsible Banking.

Our intention and mandate make us responsible for creating sustainable value for our stakeholders. With this statement, we affirm our ambition to play a key role in mobilizing financial flows and creating a new market dynamic at the national and regional level.” Mr. Khalid SAFIR, CEO of CDG.
