A lower-limit check on banking book- Indicators of potential climate change transition risk (D 01.00, EBA rule v89257_m)

A check in the environmental, social and governance risks return (ESG), on template D 01.00, banking book- Indicators of potential climate change transition risk: credit quality of exposures by sector, emissions and residual maturity.

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Add up these three:

  • Exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change, gross carrying amount (Mln EUR)
  • Exposures towards sectors other than those that highly contribute to climate change*, environmentally sustainable (CCM)
  • Exposures towards sectors other than those that highly contribute to climate change*, exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks in accordance with Article 12(1) points (d) to (g) and Artic

The result cannot be less than these three added up:

  • Exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change, environmentally sustainable (CCM)
  • Exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change, exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks in accordance with Article 12(1) points (d) to (g) and Artic
  • Exposures towards sectors other than those that highly contribute to climate change*, gross carrying amount (Mln EUR)

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
