Management of ESG risks<strong>BBVA</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegrates “ESG” variables <strong>in</strong>to its risk management system. The ESG (environment, socialand corporate governance) variables aim to manage extra-f<strong>in</strong>ancial risks that can affect the creditprofile of a borrower or f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g project and may threaten the repayment of the debt. This issummed up <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>es of action:• Ecorat<strong>in</strong>g: <strong>BBVA</strong> uses the Ecorat<strong>in</strong>g tool to value the risk portfolio of companies from anenvironmental po<strong>in</strong>t of view. It assigns each customer a level of credit risk accord<strong>in</strong>g to acomb<strong>in</strong>ation of various factors such as location, pollut<strong>in</strong>g emissions, consumption of resources,potential to affect the environment or applicable legislation. In <strong>2012</strong>, <strong>BBVA</strong> has analyzed theenvironmental risk of 200.771 customers <strong>in</strong> Spa<strong>in</strong> us<strong>in</strong>g the Ecorat<strong>in</strong>g tool• Equator Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples. These are global standards for determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, assess<strong>in</strong>g and manag<strong>in</strong>g ESGrisks when provid<strong>in</strong>g f<strong>in</strong>ance and advice for <strong>in</strong>vestment projects with a capital cost of overUSD 10m. The criteria emanate from the performance standards of the International F<strong>in</strong>anceCorporation and have been developed by the most active banks <strong>in</strong> project f<strong>in</strong>ance worldwide.<strong>BBVA</strong> does not take <strong>in</strong>to consideration this m<strong>in</strong>imum threshold, but rather applies the pr<strong>in</strong>ciplesto all transactions, irrespective of the amount and the dest<strong>in</strong>ation or allocation of the funds:not only to new projects or significant expansions, but also to project fund<strong>in</strong>g, acquisitions,ref<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g, etc. As for the scope by product, <strong>BBVA</strong> extends them to consult<strong>in</strong>g, bridge loans,projects <strong>in</strong> operation, project bonds, assignment of credit rights and buyer’s credit.• Activity with multilateral banks for regional development. In <strong>2012</strong>, <strong>BBVA</strong> ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed close<strong>in</strong>stitutional and bus<strong>in</strong>ess relations with Multilateral F<strong>in</strong>ancial Institutions (MFI) which contributeto regional development, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), theInter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Andean Development Corporation (ADC) and theEuropean Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). These <strong>in</strong>stitutions require that therecipients of their funds have <strong>in</strong> place environmental, social, ethical and corporate governancerisk management systems. The activities carried out dur<strong>in</strong>g the year <strong>in</strong>clude: <strong>in</strong>ternational tradef<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g, co-f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g of projects, f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>termediation transactions, debt issues on localcapital markets and trad<strong>in</strong>g floor operations.• Sector policies. S<strong>in</strong>ce 2005, <strong>BBVA</strong> had a policy on the f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g of the defense sector whichunderwent a major review <strong>in</strong> 2011. All of the Group’s areas <strong>in</strong>volved took part <strong>in</strong> the process,with advice from worldwide experts <strong>in</strong> the field and dialog with the most relevant stakeholders.The result of this work has been the defense-related policy approved <strong>in</strong> <strong>2012</strong>, which expandsthe scope of the previous one and enhances it <strong>in</strong> terms of clarity and simplicity, guarantee<strong>in</strong>gcompliance and traceability <strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e with the needs revealed by the Bank’s <strong>in</strong>ternal audit.128 Risk management
