Acting sustainably
Sustainability and matching ESG criteria are becoming increasingly important and have already been an important part of AKA’s activities for a long time.
Especially in the main business area of Export Finance, the export credit insurances (ECA) have had strict rules for years now. Clearly defined criteria stand above granting loans, which are summarized in the so-called "OECD-consensus". Since 1978, the consensus has established consistent minimum standards for export credits, supported by federal export credit agancies or by financing from public funds. Governance and sustainability have therefore been the focus of international cooperation for a long time.
For this reason federal export credit agencies and refinancing banks have also agreed in the OECD to determine standard procedures that go beyond mere financing conditions and many of the "green criteria" currently used in the market. These are so-called "Common Approaches" for taking environmental and social aspects into account in publicly supported export credits.
We are convinced: The financial sector can be in a leading position transforming global trade towards sustainability. In its position paper AKA describes activities being implemented to contribute to a more sustainable world.
