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 shall report its progress on a yearly basis. When doing so, they shall:
- Use the the PRB Progress Statement for Signatories template*
- Show progress made on implementing the Principles and be transparent about impacts
- Submit your report to prbreporting@unepfi.org. You can also add Florence Njoroge (florence.njoroge@un.org) in copy.
*Please note that this is the latest PRB Progress Statement template, improved by the framework review process. Signatories should report using this template from November 2024 onwards.
Reporting needs to be in English. Read more about this step in the Responsible Banking Progress Statement, the Guidance for Transparency and find additional support in the PRB Implementation Journey.
Signatory banks can find training, peer learning and tools to help with this step in the Members Area, join a PRB workstream or community of practice or browse the guidance on best practice on reporting and limited assurance.
The reports which banks have already published are available online here.
Assurance
While the PRB continues to recommend assurance of sustainability data as best practice—and it is therefore strongly encouraged– assurance of PRB reporting will no longer be required.
More information can be found in the Members’ area.
Workstreams & Communities of Practice
Joining our workstreams and communities of practice are a great opportunity for signatory banks to lead at the cutting-edge of responsible banking through developing practical guidance and tools with other pioneering banks. Members can find out about how to get involved by checking this year’s work plan, hosted in the Members Area.
