In your bank’s existing reporting, describe how your bank is implementing the Principles for Responsible Banking. Provide an assured assessment of the progress that your bank is making.

Transparency and accountability are essential elements of the Principles for Responsible Banking. Therefore, public reporting of signatory banks’ targets, implementation and progress is an integral step within the framework of the Principles.

Signatories must:

  • Use the reporting and self-assessment template* 
  • Show your progress on implementing the Principles and be transparent about your impacts and contributions
  • Assess if you are meeting the requirements and obtain assurance

*Please note that this is the latest reporting and self-assessment template, improved by the framework review process. Signatories should report using this template from September 2022 onwards. 

Reporting needs to be in English. Read more about this step in the 3 key steps. Signatory banks can find training, peer learning and tools to help with this step in the Members Area, join a working group or browse the guidance on best practice on reporting and limited assurance.

The reports which banks have already published are available online here.

Guidance

Working groups of signatory banks worldwide have contributed to creating the below guidance, working with UNEP FI and other experts in the field.

The Reporting Guidance supports signatories of the PRB with reporting on their implementation of the Principles. The Guidance for Assurance Providers: Providing Limited Assurance for Reporting aims at assisting assurance providers with undertaking limited assurance on PRB reporting, and at harmonizing the assurance approach and procedures for signatory banks.
