[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n By means of this publication, the Bank wishes to communicate transparently on its efforts to reduce the climate impact of its non-monetary policy portfolios, in line with our CSR policy.\n \n \n The Bank has set intermediate climate targets for two specific portfolios: its European equities portfolio and the actively managed portion of its foreign currency-denominated corporate bond portfolio.\n \n \n Thus, in 2024, the Bank adjusted the benchmark index and introduced an intermediate climate target for its European equities portfolio. This move has already resulted in significant progress towards meeting the target of reducing the portfolio's carbon footprint by 50% by 2030. The carbon footprint of the fund's benchmark index fell significantly in 2024 compared to the 2021 baseline (-37%).\n \n \n The Bank also decided to introduce an intermediate target for the actively managed portion of its foreign currency-denominated corporate bond portfolio. Here, as well, the objective is to reduce the portfolio's carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 compared with 2021. Between 2021 and 2024, the carbon footprint fell by 22%.\n \n \n For more information on the Bank's CSR policy, please refer to the \"A sustainable and inclusive organisation \" section of our website.\n ","length":1830,"tagName":"div"}]
