Parliament approves ‘one substance, one assessment’ chemicals reform

The European Parliament has adopted the ‘one substance, one assessment’ package to streamline EU chemicals rules and enhance transparency on chemical safety data. The reform creates a central data platform to improve public access to information on hazards, uses and safer alternatives, and strengthens co-operation between EU agencies.

European Parliament rejects proposal for forest monitoring framework

The European Parliament has rejected the European Commission’s proposal to establish a monitoring framework for resilient European forests, with 370 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voting in favour of rejection, 264 opposing it and nine abstaining, thereby closing its first reading. In a separate vote, the Parliament adopted its position on extending the tasks of the Standing Forest and Forestry Expert Group, by 327 votes to 256, with 58 abstentions. The expert group is intended to assist the Commission by providing expertise in the preparation and implementation of legislative proposals and other EU policy initiatives that are relevant to forests and forestry or that could have a significant impact on them. The Commission would be required to consult the expert group and provide feedback on how it has addressed or responded to the group’s advice. The expert group may also offer advice proactively.

UNEP FI publishes third progress report on responsible banking principles

The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) has published its third biennial progress report on the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB), covering over 350 banks across 87 countries representing approximately 50% of global banking assets. The report identifies growing regulatory momentum for sustainability practices pioneered by UNEP FI, with regulators in eight out of 12 Asia-Pacific jurisdictions embedding sustainability more systematically into their mandates. The report shows that over 65% of PRB banks have adopted the impact analysis tool developed jointly by the UN and PRB signatories, which is now being used to apply the EU's double-materiality approach. Analysis by MSCI shows that 61% of PRB signatories lead their industry in managing financially material sustainability risks compared to 23% of non-PRB banks, with PRB signatories paying one percentage point less on average for equity and debt capital.
