Risks related to environmental issues, such as climate change, are directly related to the Bank's main objectives of price stability, financial stability, and a sound and secure financial system.

Climate change and changes in ecosystems can potentially affect the financial system and the economy as a whole, and standards and rules regarding sustainable investments require specific financial supervisory activities.
Like other public institutions, the Central Bank has set goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and has implemented green steps in the bank's operations and activities. The bank has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 40% from 2019 to 2030.
