ESR Sector Policy - Oil and Gas

2018-11-23 00:00:00
Explanation

The scores for a bank's policies restricting expansion of fossil fuels - in each area, prohibitions against financing projects and/or companies expanding that area - are aggregated into a fossil fuel expansion policy score.

The point-based policy ranking for fossil fuel expansion consists of the following distribution:

  • Coal mining: 14 points​
  • Coal power: 14 points
  • Other coal: 7 points
  • Tar sands: 9 points
  • Arctic oil and gas: 9 points
  • Offshore oil and gas: 9 points
  • Fracked oil and gas: 9 points
  • LNG: 9 points
  • Other oil and gas: 9 points

A bank can obtain a total of 89 policy points for its fossil fuel expansion policy. Based on this score, banks are then classified as laggards (0-22.25 points), followers (22.25-44.5 points), front runners (44.5-66.75 points) or leaders (66.75-89 points).

Sector policy applicable to the coal sector

2019-06-28 00:00:00
Explanation

The point-based policy ranking assesses bank policies in four ways:

1) Restriction on direct financing for coal infrastructure projects.

  • None (0), weak exclusion (1), strong exclusion (3)

2) Restriction on financing for companies that expand coal infrastructure.

  • None (0), weak exclusion (2), strong exclusion (4)

3) The bank’s commitment to phase-out financing for coal infrastructure.

  • None (0), exposure reduction (1), weak phase-out (2), strong phase-out (4)

4) The bank’s commitment to exclude companies active in coal infrastructure above a certain threshold.

  • None (0), enhanced due diligence (0.5), weak exclusion threshold (2), strong exclusion threshold (4), full exclusion (5)

A bank can obtain a total of 16 policy points for its coal infrastructure policy. Based on this score banks are then classified as laggards (0-4 points), followers (4.5-8 points), front runners (8.5-12 points) or leaders (12.5-16 points)
