This paper intends to analyze the phenomenon of climate change and its impact on the business world, with particular reference to the banking sector. The first part provides the definitions of climate change, with some data describing the evolution of this phenomenon. A digression is then provided regarding the policies, international and European, adopted by policy makers to counter the negative consequences of climate change. The digression then extends to the main theoretical approaches that the organizational literature has developed regarding the reaction of companies to climate change. Finally, a discussion is made of what climate risk is, how it is transmitted to the financial system through the real economy and how central banks, with particular regard to the European Central Bank (ECB), are leading credit institutions in addressing the phenomenon. The second part of the paper analyzes the response of eurozone banks to climate change by analyzing two case studies. For each of these cases, in addition to a general introduction to the history and current data of the institution, a detailed analysis of the responses implemented or planned by the individual banks in the choice of strategy, in the definition of the governance model, in the management of risks and in the information given on the phenomenon will be provided.
Il presente elaborato intende analizzare il fenomeno del cambiamento climatico e il suo impatto sul mondo d’impresa, con particolare riferimento al settore bancario. Nella prima parte vengono fornite le definizioni di cambiamento climatico, assieme ad alcuni dati riguardo l’evoluzione di questo fenomeno. Viene poi fornita una digressione riguardo le politiche, internazionali ed europee, adottate dai decisori politici per contrastare le conseguenze negative del cambiamento climatico. La digressione si estende poi ai principali studi teorici e di ricerca che la letteratura organizzativa ha svolto su adattamento e resilienza delle imprese. Infine, si fa una trattazione del rischio climatico, di come esso si trasmette al sistema finanziario attraverso l’economia reale e di come le banche centrali, con particolare riguardo alla Banca Centrale Europea (BCE), stanno guidando gli enti creditizi nella risposta ai cambiamenti climatici. Nella seconda parte dell’elaborato si analizza la risposta delle banche dell’eurozona al cambiamento climatico mediante l’analisi di due casi studio. Per ciascuno di questi casi verrà fornita, oltre ad una introduzione generale alla storia e ai dati attuali dell’ente, una analisi dettagliata delle risposte messe in atto o pianificate dalle singole banche nella scelta della strategia, nella definizione del modello di governance, nella gestione dei rischi e nell’informativa data sul fenomeno.

Abstract
This paper intends to analyze the phenomenon of climate change and its impact on the business world, with particular reference to the banking sector. The first part provides the definitions of climate change, with some data describing the evolution of this phenomenon. A digression is then provided regarding the policies, international and European, adopted by policy makers to counter the negative consequences of climate change. The digression then extends to the main theoretical approaches that the organizational literature has developed regarding the reaction of companies to climate change. Finally, a discussion is made of what climate risk is, how it is transmitted to the financial system through the real economy and how central banks, with particular regard to the European Central Bank (ECB), are leading credit institutions in addressing the phenomenon. The second part of the paper analyzes the response of eurozone banks to climate change by analyzing two case studies. For each of these cases, in addition to a general introduction to the history and current data of the institution, a detailed analysis of the responses implemented or planned by the individual banks in the choice of strategy, in the definition of the governance model, in the management of risks and in the information given on the phenomenon will be provided.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
