Abstract

Klimatske promjene i društvene nejednakosti zadiru u sve sfere društva i utječu na globalno poslovanje te nisu zaobišle ni financijski sektor. Dosadašnji način poslovanja u kojem je profit jedini cilj i svrha, postaje neodrživ. Tranzicija na održiv način poslovanja nužna je i neizbježna te nosi sa sobom neke nove prilike da se društvo oblikuje na bolji i pravedniji način. Ključnu ulogu u tom procesu imaju središnje banke kao okosnica i regulator financijskog sektora te zbog uloge koju imaju u društvu. Ovim radom nastoji se prikazati kako primjenom okolišnih, društvenih i upravljačkih standarda (ESG) u vlastitom poslovanju na promjene u okolišu i društvu reagiraju središnje banke. Uz analizu ključnih elemenata pojma ESG za koji još ne postoji službena definicija i analizu razloga i povoda za primjenu standarda u poslovanju, prikazat će se ESG inicijative i aktivnosti Europske središnje banke i određenih nacionalnih europskih središnjih banaka. Kroz analizu podataka prikupljenih u istraživanju provedenom među bankama nastojat će se definirati najbolja praksa i moguće i izvedive preporuke za primjenu ESG standarda u poslovanju ostalih nacionalnih središnjih banaka koje tek kreću s primjenom istih.

Abstract (english)

Climate change and social disturbances affect all aspects of society and have impact on global businesses. Financial sector hasn`t been bypassed. The current way of doing business in which profit is the only goal and purpose, is becoming unsustainable. A transition to a sustainable business model is necessary and inevitable. With such transition new opportunities will emerge and reshape society in a better and more righteous way. As a backbone and a regulator of the financial sector and also because of the role they have in society central banks play key role in this process. The purpose of this thesis is to present how central banks respond to climate change and fluxes in society by applying environmental, social and governance standards (ESG) into their business operations. With the analysis of the term ESG which still lacks an official definition and it`s key elements as well as the reasons and motives for the applications of these standards in business, ESG initiatives and activities of the European Central Bank and certain national central banks will be presented. Through data analysis collected in the research this thesis aims to define best practices and possible recommendations for other national central banks which are just starting with the application of ESG standards.
