In this section, we depict graphically the relationships the corporation has with trade associations, federations, advocacy groups and other third parties who may be acting on their behalf to influence climate change policy. Each of the columns above represents one relationship the corporation appears to have with such a third party. In these columns, the top, dark section represents the strength of the relationship the corporation has with the influencer. For example if a corporation's senior executive also held a key role in the trade association, we would deem this to be a strong relationship and it would be on the far left of the chart above, with the weaker ones to the right. Click on these grey shaded upper sections for details of these relationships. The middle section contains a link to the organization score details of the influencer concerned, so you can see the details of its climate change policy influence. Click on the middle sections for for details of the trade associations. The lower section contains the organization score of that influencer, the lower the more negatively it is influencing climate policy.

Sustainable Finance Lobbying Overview: UniCredit appears to have had limited engagement on sustainable finance policy.
Top-line Messaging on Sustainable Finance Policy: UniCredit has stated support for action to keep global temperature rise to 1.5C and on biodiversity loss aligned with the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, although in a 2021 website article it did highlight the need to broaden the investment focus to transition hard-to-abate emission businesses. UniCredit is a member of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) and in a letter in 2020 to EU leaders it advocated for action to achieve net-zero by 2050.
Position on Sustainable Finance Policies: In response to the Commission in 2020, UniCredit did not support the expansion of the taxonomy to cover environmentally harmful activities, however, in its 2022 CDP response it stated support for extension of the Taxonomy to intermediate and significantly harmful activities. It did highlight that activities that are significantly harmful but have the possibility to improve should also be included in the amber/intermediate space. In comments to the Commission in 2020, UniCredit also supported EU-level verification of the EU Green Bond Standard and supported some of the Commission’s proposals for new ESG labels but not others. In its 2020-2022 CDP responses, it further supported other policy areas, including the EU Green Bond Standard with some exceptions, as well as the inclusion of climate into risk management and prudential frameworks.
Transparency: UniCredit has not disclosed any positions on sustainable finance policy on its website. UniCredit has not disclosed key memberships to financial industry associations, such as board memberships to the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME), the European Banking Federation (EBF) and the Institute of International Finance (IIF).
