Thus, we have begun to embed a climate lens into the way in which we operate. We have begun and plan to continue formally applying this lens across key areas of the business, including in various due diligence processes, client service, risk management and employee professional development. CLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENT We are supporting the identification and assessment of climate-related physical and transition risks as a driver across all six enterprise risk categories through enhanced global risk frameworks, the Three Lines of Defense risk approach, and risk management policies and processes. NET ZERO EXPLORATION We are planning to engage select business functions and lines of business to understand the impacts of a global corporate net zero commitment across our operations and consider potential pathways that may align with our business model and specific types of banking and financial services. SUPPORTING CLIENTS IN THEIR TRANSITION We are developing new products and services that can help customers transition to a low-carbon economy by addressing changes in technology, markets and regulation, and facilitating their journey. EXTERNAL CLIMATE LEADERSHIP We are working to establish climate leadership as a custodian through thought leadership, digital enablement and stakeholder engagement to better prepare the industry for the effects climate change will have on business. Our strategy utilizes the TCFD recommendations and other frameworks to formalize the integration and communication of climate change-related matters both within our organization and externally to stakeholders. The TCFD recommendations have also shaped the initial framework of our multiyear project to identify and disclose impacts on our business. Incorporating TCFD and supervisory frameworks has enhanced our understanding and management of climate risk exposure, and helped us prepare for live and pending regulations. As we continue along our journey to embed ESG and climate considerations across our business, we may adjust our reporting trajectory if necessary. Learn more .
