CLIMATE AND ESG RISKS (2)

Environmental, social and governance risks relate to the Group’s exposure to counterparties which can potentially be negatively affected by these factors; they are taken into consideration as risk factors that influence other categories of existing risks, notably credit, operational, legal risks, etc.

Environmental risks include transition risks, related to the development of a low carbon and more sustainable economy, the physical risks, intensive or chronic, other risks, notably environmental degradation, the depletion of natural resources or the loss of biodiversity.

The Group uses climate scenarios to guide its strategy, notably the SDS (Sustainable Development Scenario) of the International Energy Agency to set the main points of alignment of our portfolios with the Paris Agreement.
