Reporting Template For Nigeria Sustainable Banking Principles (NSBPs)

Our organization's reporting process for sustainable finance data includes two main sectors - Agriculture and Power. These are further broken down into subcategories and transactions are reported semi-annually or on a year-to-date basis, with remarks included as necessary. In addition, we report on the number of Oil & Gas related transactions and provide information on these categories' exposure to Environmental and Social (E&S) risks. Our reporting covers several aspects within each category: 1. Agriculture - We report on the value of agriculture-related transactions booked, including data by agricultural value chain category and name. Additionally, we also report the number of transactions by E&S categorization (A, B, or C). 2. Power - For this sector, we report the number of power-related transactions booked, with data divided by categories such as power generation sources, electricity transmission, and electricity distribution. We also provide information on the value of these transactions. The E&S categorization of these transactions is reported in a similar way to the Agriculture category. 3. Oil & Gas - In this sector, we report on the number and value of Oil & Gas-related transactions booked, with data divided by categories such as upstream, midstream, downstream, and servicing. We also provide information on the E&S categorization of these transactions. In summary, our organization's reporting process for sustainable finance data is detailed, systematic, and transparent, providing comprehensive insights into the sustainability of our transactions within each sector and subcategory.

Circular to all Banks, Discount Houses and Development Finance Institutions REPORTING TEMPLATE FOR THE NIGERIA SUSTAINABLE BANKING PRINCIPLES (NSBPs) Recall that the CBN, vide a Circular referenced FPR/DIR/CIR/GEN/03/ 004 of May 6, 2013, issued an exposure draft of the NSBPs reporting template to stakeholders for comments. The reporting template was developed to provide reporting institutions with a uniform format for reporting their implementation efforts as well as enable such institutions plan effectively, track the progress of their implementation against a roadmap and identify challenges for possible remedial action. The template will also enable the Central Bank of Nigeria to monitor the progress of implementation at individual bank and industry levels, ensure appropriate intervention to help resolve implementation challenges and provide an objective, fair and equitable basis for possible incentives.

Having taken into account the perspectives of all stakeholders during the process of developing the final template, the attached reporting template is hereby issued to banks, discount houses and development finance institutions for implementation.

Accordingly, sustainability reporting will commence in June 2014 with the submission of the one-off report (first quarter) not later than July 7, 2014.

The second quarter one-off report shall be received not later than October 7, 2014 while the third quarter report should reach the CBN not later than January 7, 2015.

Rendition of regular reports (i.e. semi-annual and annual reports), which should be received at the CBN not later than 7 days after the end of the relevant period, shall commence with the receipt of the first bi-annual report not later than July 7, 2015 for the period January to June 2015. All reports are to be sent to the Director, Banking Supervision Department, Central Bank of Nigeria, Abuja.

Thank you.
