Together we achieve more than alone

Our ESG risk journey is not a clearly worked out path to follow. ESG regulations, challenges and developments are continuously changing very fast. Our challenge together is to deal with this and together we will. Area EARTH is part of the Tribe Credit Core and Tribe Credit Core delivers centrally managed group functionality such that Business Units can optimally perform their end-to-end credit process.

We monitor quality of data and portfolios providing insight to continuously improve the end-to-end credit process. We increase trust from the regulator and from the public and we achieve uniformity, simplification and efficiency in the Credit Journey within the bank. ESG risks are an integral part of that end-to-end credit process.

The goals of the Geospatial Data and Energy Label Data squad are:

• Deliver the right Work Package at the right time to the business units on the end-to-end process to gather energy information for Residential Real Estate and Commercial Real Estate portfolio and Location data for rural clients with material portfolios in areas with elevated physical risks.
• Ensure both our data consumers (e.g. Credit Analytics, Finance, Portfolio management) and our data producers (W&R, DRB, DLL and FR&R) are represented and included in the creation of the work packages.
• Create the building blocks across the group so we can implement the end-to-end process for collecting and using Geospatial and Label Data for all business lending activities.

Sustainability is at the core of what we do at Rabobank. In CRO we focus on the most important business we have: lending. ESG risks in the Credit Risk Cycle is developing rapidly and Rabobank wants to protect its clients from these risks and at the same time we want to encourage clients to ‘go green’ and invest through sustainable loans. Working on this important topic you really are part of Rabobank’s future!” – Anne Lagerwerf, Senior ESG & Climate risk expert
