The agreement allows the Housing
Bank and its clients from enterprises with various business sizes to benefit
from Synesgy®, a digital platform that evaluates companies based on
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. This step is in line with
national efforts that work towards adopting top standards in regards to environmental,
community and governance practices, which is considered one of the most
important outcomes of the National Strategy Forum 2022, in addition to the
Central Bank of Jordan's efforts to adopt green finance strategies.
The agreement was signed by
Vasken Ajemian, Housing Bank’s Chief Banking Officer, and Areej Obeidat, CRIF
ITS’ Branch Manager. Commenting on the occasion Ajemian said, “We are proud of
our partnership with CRIF ITS as a strategic partner within the bank’s plan to
apply and adopt environmental, social, and governance sustainability standards
through Synesgy®.”
He added, “This agreement comes
as part of the Housing Bank’s commitments and strategic plans in issuing annual
sustainability reports. In addition to raising the readiness of credit policies
and sustainable trade financing strategies, choosing supply chains and risk
management, and financing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in addition to
large companies.”
Furthermore, Mrs. Areej Obeidat
commented on this agreement, saying, “I am proud of our partnership with
Housing Bank. As one of the largest banking institutions in the Jordanian
banking market, our partnership is playing a significant and effective impact
in spreading awareness to adopt top standards in environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) practices within the banking and commercial sector in Jordan.”
It is worth to mention that
sustainable and green finance are receiving much attention recently, which
refers to financing and investment procedures that consider environmental,
social, and governance implications. Companies, around the world, that adhere
to sustainability standards, typically perform better, and lead to longer
investments than others, when environmental, social, and governance practices are
put into consideration when making decisions.
