Institutions should have a robust and sound approach to managing and mitigating ESG risks over the short, medium and long term, including a time horizon of at least 10 years, and should apply a range of risk management tools including engagement with counterparties. Institutions should embed ESG risks in their regular processes including risk appetite, internal controls and ICAAP.
