# Integrating ESG criteria to enhance development banks sustainable finance operations, risk management, and transparency

 

| **Implementing partner: Consejo Mexicano de Finanzas Sostenibles** |
| --- |
| **Implementation period: May 2026 - March 2027** |
| ** Sector: Green Finance** |

 

This project aims to strengthen the technical and operational capacity of Mexico’s National Development Banks (NDBs) to operationalise the implementation of the Sustainable Taxonomy in structuring and approving green loans, enhancing the environmental integrity, transparency, and credibility of sustainable finance instruments, while supporting the mobilisation of preferential capital toward national climate and sustainability goals.

   
**Expected outputs: ​**

 

- Improved NDB technical capacity to apply the Taxonomy criteria in green loan structuring and approval, including ESG risk management, monitoring, labelling, and disclosure practices.​
- Improvement of the validation process of the Substantial Contribution criteria of the Taxonomy for projects in up to four priority sectors.​
- Knowledge and capacities strengthened across 2 NDBs’ technical and strategic areas to align eligible activities with the Taxonomy.​
- Enhanced collaboration among targeted NDBs and the private financial sector (up to 12 institutions) through a recurring stakeholder forum, supporting joint project selection, blended finance structuring, and coordinated capital mobilization for Taxonomy-aligned investments.​
