Internal procedures defined for selection and evaluation are considered appropriately documented and transparent. Responsibilities and accountabilities are defined, and duties are segregated. Besides, the Bank has put in place a process to identify and mitigate social and/or environmental risks. QNB's Green, Social, and Sustainability Bond Committee (GSSBC) reviews the Bank's sustainable products/transactions to ensure continued compliance with the respective criteria defined in QNB's Framework. GSSBC's reviews take place on a quarterly basis and ad-hoc as required. If any non-compliance is not addressed, the transaction would no longer be eligible nor labelled as Sustainable (including green and/or social) or Transition finance. QNB commits to reporting on an annual basis on labeled sustainable transactions and is made publicly available through QNB's Sustainability Report. As data availability in terms of impact reporting improves, further developing tracking of the expected and/or achieved impact of the Banks' sustainable financing activities on environmental and social objectives is encouraged.

GCR also ensures that eligible facilities are tagged in the Bank's system of record to avoid double utilization. Group Risk/ Strategic Risk Management (SRM) Monitors, tracks and reports on the pipeline of eligible facilities that qualify for inclusion in QNB's portfolio. SRM also develops dashboards and early warning mechanisms (EWS) in order to update the GSSBC on the status of the portfolio, and assists in the preparation of any external reporting requirements. Group Treasury (TRS) Identifies investor appetite for new issuances, manages the investor community for the preparation and issuance of GSS bonds and acts as the lead arranger and book runner for the issuance of green and/or social bonds for QNB Group.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]QNB Group's sustainability strategy (including climate) is developed in consultation with key stakeholder groups - our customers, investors, employees, regulators and government, society and suppliers - taking into account their needs and expectations. Through regular and targeted engagement with stakeholders, we deepen our understanding of their priorities, and where appropriate, align our initiatives with their interests and needs.
Our stakeholder selection process is guided by a benchmarking exercise against peer banks in the region and beyond. In addition, our primary stakeholders are groups that are directly affected by our business and operations (customers, employees, suppliers), invest in our business (investors), have oversight and influence on our activities (regulators and government), as well as those who are indirectly impacted in the communities we serve (society). The relevance of these stakeholder groups is reviewed on an annual basis, including alignment with our overall sustainability/ climate change strategy.
