Article 501c
Prudential treatment of exposures related to environmental and/or social objectives
EBA, after consulting the ESRB, shall, on the basis of available data and the findings of the Commission High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance, assess whether a dedicated prudential treatment of exposures related to assets, including securitisations, or activities associated substantially with environmental and/or social objectives would be justified. In particular, EBA shall assess:
(a)
(b)
the development of appropriate criteria for the assessment of physical risks and transition risks, including the risks related to the depreciation of assets due to regulatory changes;
(c)
the potential effects of a dedicated prudential treatment of exposures related to assets and activities which are associated substantially with environmental and/or social objectives on financial stability and bank lending in the Union.
EBA shall submit a report on its findings to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the Commission by 28 June 2025.
On the basis of that report, the Commission shall, if appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal.
