Based on UniCredit’s thematic ESG analysis framework, the bank is focusing on Theme 1 (Socio-economic development – Eco-efficiency) in the context of Germany’s new energy policy and its cost impact on German corporates through higher electricity prices. Sustainability and green products are set to gain in importance through efforts to change the energy mix. End-customers will be more focused on bio-based/green products that help to reduce CO2 emissions.
