OeNB and FMA Commit to the Goals of the UN Climate Summit

Memorandum of Understanding on the contribution to climate-friendly financial markets


In a joint declaration of intent on the occasion of the 26th UN Climate Summit in Glasgow, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank and the Austrian Financial Market Authority declare that they will perform their tasks in the most climate-friendly manner possible. This concerns both their core tasks, namely financial supervision and monetary policy, as well as their investments and operational ecology. For example, the OeNB subjects all of its own activities to certified environmental management, continuously reduces energy and material consumption and aims to achieve effective CO2 neutrality in 2040. The FMA is also actively working to reduce its operational carbon footprint and has established its own sustainability management system to this end.
