The Dutch banking group ING has transformed its lending portfolio through sector-specific sustainability targets. Its Terra approach measures climate impact across high-emitting sectors that represent a significant portion of global emissions. ING has also decreased coal financing while expanding renewable energy project finance. The bank developed sustainability improvement loans with interest rates linked to environmental performance metrics. This financial innovation incentivises corporate clients to improve sustainability performance, creating a market mechanism for environmental improvement through traditional banking products.
