Step-by-step guidance to analyse and manage your bank’s portfolio impacts.
Published by the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the Impact Protocol offers a structured approach to identifying and managing the positive and negative impacts of banking portfolios.
Built on UNEP FI’s holistic impact approach, the Protocol supports alignment with the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB).
The 2025 edition reflects updates from the 2024 PRB Framework Review, linking the Protocol more closely with the PRB Implementation Journey and the Progress Statement.
It forms the cornerstone of the Impact Management Toolkit, a comprehensive set of guidance documents, tools and indicators that help financial institutions turn methodology into meaningful action. While the Protocol provides the high-level roadmap, the toolkit operationalizes it.
