NIB’s Sustainability Policy Exclusion List
We invite our stakeholders to a public consultation on NIB’s Sustainability Policy Exclusion List revision. The updated Sustainability Policy will only enter into force after public consultation has been completed.
Thank you for your comments!
NIB’s Board of Directors approved the updated Sustainability Policy for public consultation on 12 June 2025.
The consultation process was open for 30 days and ended on 12 July 2025 at 14:00 EEST.
1. First approval
NIB’s Board of Directors approve a version of the Sustainability Policy for public consultation.
2. Public consultation
NIB invites stakeholders to comment on the updated document. After 30 days have passed, an internal NIB discussion considers the received contributions, and possibly make an amended version of the Sustainability Policy for a separate Board of Directors approval. If, after the public consultation period, there are no changes to the policy, it shall be deemed approved.
3. Possible second approval
NIB’s Board of Directors is informed about the outcome of public consultation. In case adjustments have been made to the document, the Board has to approve the amended Sustainability Policy.
4. Entry into force
NIB’s launches its updated Sustainability Policy. The Bank publishes the contributions received after the consultation period (if the author’s consent is given) and NIB’s response to the consultation, explaining the outcome of the process.
NIB has responded to the contributions directly. The contributions and NIB’s responses will be published here, subject to the authors’ consent.
