JPMorgan Chase CSR

Introduction

Today, the world is facing a number of significant environmental and social (E&S) challenges. Climate change, deforestation and habitat loss, water quality and availability, waste, and the impact of development on communities and, especially, indigenous peoples, are just some of the threats that create risks for society and businesses, if they are not appropriately addressed. As a global financial institution, JPMorgan Chase & Co. recognizes that
our business decisions have the potential to impact the environment and surrounding communities.
This is why understanding our clients’ approach to E&S issues is an important component of our risk management process. It helps us make more informed decisions, and in certain circumstances enables us to ofer our clients information and guidance on good practices when they are seeking to access capital markets, provide disclosures to investors or improve sustainability practices. We believe our firm can play a valuable role to help our clients manage their E&S impacts.
