Last year, NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank signed the Climate Protection Commitment of the German Financial Sector and thus committed itself to aligning its loan and investment portfolios with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. This initiative, which originated in the banking sector of the financial sector, aims to actively participate in the societal transformation to limit climate change. A central element of this voluntary commitment is the development of basic measures for recording the carbon footprint of bank portfolios.
