In your bank’s existing reporting, describe how your bank is implementing the Principles for Responsible Banking. Provide an assured assessment of the progress that your bank is making.
Transparency and accountability are essential elements of the Principles for Responsible Banking. Therefore, public reporting of signatory banks’ targets, implementation and progress is an integral step within the framework of the Principles.
Signatories must:
- Use the the PRB Progress Statement for Signatories template*
- Show your progress on implementing the Principles and be transparent about your impacts and contributions
- Assess if you are meeting the requirements and obtain assurance (assurance is highly recommended but not required)
- Submit your report to prbreporting@unepfi.org. You can also add Florence Njoroge (florence.njoroge@un.org) in copy.
*Please note that this is the latest PRB Progress Statement template, improved by the framework review process. Signatories should report using this template from November 2024 onwards.
Reporting needs to be in English. Read more about this step in the Responsible Banking Progress Statement and find additional support in the PRB Implementation Journey and Guidance for Transparency documents. Signatory banks can find training, peer learning and tools to help with this step in the Members Area, join a working group or browse the guidance on best practice on reporting and limited assurance.
The reports which banks have already published are available online here.
Assurance
While the PRB continues to recommend assurance of sustainability data as best practice—and it is therefore strongly encouraged– assurance of PRB reporting will no longer be required.
The Guidance for Assurance Providers: Providing Limited Assurance for Reporting aims at assisting assurance providers with undertaking limited assurance, and at harmonizing the assurance approach and procedures for signatory banks. Find it here.

Working Groups
Joining our working groups is a great opportunity for signatory banks to lead at the cutting-edge of responsible banking through developing practical guidance and tools with other pioneering banks. Members can find out about how to get involved by checking this year’s work plan, hosted in the Members Area.
