Sustainability Disclosure Mentorship Initiative

No single institution can shift a financial system on its own. This work is deliberately collaborative, pairing the reach of established banks with the agility of specialist funds and the oversight of regulators.

That alignment is what this initiative is built to create — shared standards, shared data, and a shared appetite for financing the transition.

Turning commitments into lending decisions takes more than good intentions. It requires practical tools, clear criteria, and people equipped to apply them. The work is organised around a few core workstreams.

What we focus on

Each workstream is designed to remove a specific barrier that slows sustainable lending today, from a lack of comparable data to uncertainty about how to price climate risk.

• Building shared standards for measuring and disclosing financed emissions.
• Equipping credit teams to assess climate and nature-related risk with confidence.
• Designing financial products that make the low-carbon choice the easy choice.
• Channelling capital towards the sectors and communities that need it most.

How progress is shared

Findings, templates, and lessons are published openly so that every institution — not only those directly involved — can adopt what works and avoid what does not.
