Note on the financial institution scoring methodology: The scoring methodology for Financial Institutions was updated in 2017. Unlike previous years, financial institutions no longer receive points for general sustainability policies but instead need to have sustainable financing policies that explicitly focus on forests to score points. Furthermore, the new scoring methodology assesses the scope of financial institution’s policies in more depth (i.e. whether the policy applies to all portfolio companies or only a subset). As a consequence of these changes, many Financial Institutions have received a lower score for their policies this year compared to 2016. This is largely due to the change in the methodology rather than a change in their policies.
