Abstract

We assess the link between banks' commitments to take climate issues seriously, measured by a climate performance rating based on their declarations, and the changes in their lending in France to greenhouse gas emitting industries between 2010 and 2017. A higher score appears to be associated with lower growth in lending to large enterprises in the five most carbon-intensive industries. However, lending to SMEs is not affected. Nous évaluons le lien entre la prise en compte des enjeux climatiques par les banques, mesuré par une note de performance climatique s’appuyant sur leurs déclarations, et l’évolution de leurs crédits en France à des industries plus ou moins émettrices de gaz à effet de serre entre 2010 et 2017. Une meilleure note apparait bien associée à une plus faible croissance des prêts aux grandes entreprises des cinq industries les plus carbonées. L’activité de prêts aux PME n’est toutefois pas affectée.
