On 25 April 2025, the European Banking Authority (EBA) announced the publication of an ESG dashboard.

Background

The ESG dashboard is based on information disclosed by banks as part of their Pillar 3 ESG disclosures.

It covers climate risk, both from a transition and a physical perspective.

The indicators show the spectrum of green financing, based on the alignment with the EU Taxonomy, as well as beyond the Taxonomy criteria, considering internal definitions of green finance used by institutions.

Findings

Among other things the dashboard shows that EU/EEA banks have substantial exposure to corporates from sectors highly contributing to climate change.

Indicators related to physical risk show an average share of exposures in areas subject to elevated physical risk below 30% in most countries.

While the Green Asset Ratio remains low, slightly below 3% on average, there is noticeable dispersion across EU/EEA banks and countries.
