Regulácie udržateľných investícií

This bachelor thesis is concerned with regulations in the field of sustainable investments and portrays a complex intersection of green finance terminology. This thesis introduces key regulation initiatives emerging from the sustainable finance action plan, which was presented in 2018 by the European commission and aims to prove its relevance and importance. Part of the thesis deals with the risks associated with climate change and sustainable investment products, including green bonds and green loans. The empirical part consists of case studies of selected banks from different regions, which adhere to the principles of responsible banking. The analysis focuses on selected aspects of their sustainable environmental strategy such as risk management, sustainable products, defined objectives and compliance with the TCFD recommendations. The results show an increase in the financing of sustainable projects, green bond issues and also the implementation of TCFD proposals in risk management by all analysed banks, which proves the broad coverage of the European initiative. Based on the information published in their annual and sustainability reports, it is possible to state their diversity in scope and content, underlining the meaning and need for regulation.
