Danske Bank has partnered with Position Green to enhance ESG capabilities for its larger business clients.
The partnership is designed to help Danske Bank’s business customers take a more strategic approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, even as the EU introduces simplified sustainability reporting requirements. Danske Bank believes that while reporting may become less burdensome, strategic engagement with ESG remains critical to long-term competitiveness.
Danske Bank aims to empower businesses with the insights and tools needed to better map and manage ESG risks and opportunities. Position Green’s software will be made available to Danske Bank’s business customers at a discounted rate, allowing them to integrate ESG data into broader strategic decision-making.
Position Green offers ESG data management solutions that transform complex sustainability information into actionable insights. Their software enables companies to align ESG data with strategy, assess long-term impacts, and identify key risks and opportunities. Danske Bank, meanwhile, provides not only access to ESG tools but also offers financial advisory support to customers seeking to invest in sustainability initiatives.
As part of the collaboration, Danske Bank customers will also gain access to an ESG-focused e-learning course. In addition, the bank’s advisers will be available to offer financial sparring and help fund ESG-related business transitions, such as supply chain improvements or energy efficiency upgrades.
The partnership comes at a time when the EU’s Omnibus package is set to reduce ESG reporting obligations for certain companies. However, Danske Bank’s head of sustainability for business customers, Christina Krath, emphasised the continued importance of ESG strategy.
“It remains important to work proactively and strategically with ESG to map and manage a company’s ESG risks and opportunities. This can help strengthen the company’s competitiveness both in the short and long term and assist in meeting ESG requirements, for example, if they are a subcontractor to larger companies,” Danske Bank head of sustainability, business customers Christina Krath said.
“As the sustainability landscape evolves, more companies will increasingly need to link their ESG data to their strategy, and clearly explain their view on long-term impacts, risks, and opportunities. Our software makes managing this easier, but most importantly, it provides companies with the insights they need to take action where it matters most. That’s how ESG becomes a driver of both resilience and competitive advantage,” Position Green chief growth officer Julia Staunig said.
“When analysing a company’s ESG matters, insights can be used to improve sustainability efforts. It might be that environmental or social risks are identified, requiring a new strategy for the supply chain. It could also be that areas for energy efficiency are discovered, thereby reducing operational costs and environmental impact. And here, we as a bank are ready to provide strategic financial sparring and financing,” Krath added.
