Client
A major commercial bank in the United Kingdom was looking for a solution to aid in complex climate compliance reporting for the EU Taxonomy and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). They needed to support their customers’ own climate and nature data collection.
Business Needs
In the face of increasing climate-related challenges, a leading commercial bank in the UK found itself grappling with the need to comprehensively assess and manage climate risks across its diverse portfolio, particularly concerning its agriculture customers. The evolving regulatory landscape, including the EU Taxonomy and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), added complexity to the bank’s climate reporting obligations. Traditional methods of data collection fell short in providing the nuanced insights required to meet these regulatory demands and support customers in understanding and mitigating climate-related risks.
Business Problem
The bank’s existing tools and processes lacked the sophistication required to capture granular climate-related data points. With climate change impacting agriculture in unpredictable ways, the need for real-time, field-specific insights became paramount. The challenges of flood, drought, fire, and biodiversity risks demanded a solution that went beyond standard risk assessment models. Without a robust system, the bank risked regulatory non-compliance, suboptimal support for its customers, and an incomplete understanding of the climate challenges faced by the agriculture sector.
