Framework agreement for the supply, usage and disclosure of Sustainable & Responsible Investment (SRI) data

Description du marché

The Eurosystem central banks - the National Central Banks (NCBs) of the euro area countries and the European Central Bank (ECB) - have defined common disclosure principles for the climate-related financial disclosures of non-monetary policy portfolios (NMPPs) that they each manage under their own responsibility. These principles are also applied on a best effort basis to the climate-related financial disclosures of the Eurosystem APP and PEPP programmes. These disclosures include greenhouse gas (GHG) absolute and relative emissions as well as the share of green and ESG bonds and they are being continuously enhanced by other SRI metrics. On this basis, all Eurosystem central banks have been publishing annual climate-related financial disclosures since 2023. The SRI data are also used for other purposes, including the analysis, the current and the potential further incorporation of climate change considerations into the monetary policy framework, policy dossiers, climate stress tests and research projects; in this context, the SRI data are also intended to be made available to National Competent Authorities (NCAs) of the banking supervision under the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) that are not central banks. The Eurosystem central banks, as well as other interested non-euro area central banks of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and the NCAs, being members of the Eurosystem Procurement Coordination Office (EPCO) (all together the "participating central banks" or "central banks"), are aiming at procuring SRI data from up to two SRI data providers. All references to "participating central banks" or "central banks" in the documents of this procurement procedure shall - unless explicitly stated otherwise - also include NCAs that are not central banks, but members of EPCO
