BCC Roundtable on CRD VI ESG Risk Management
By Elodie Gianferrara & Svetlana Grishankova for BCC Sustainability Group , August 06 2026
As the implementation of CRD VI accelerates the integration of ESG risks into banks' prudential frameworks, institutions are facing growing expectations around data, governance, and transition planning. Against this backdrop, the BCC Sustainability Group convened a series of exchanges with senior practitioners and subject-matter experts as well as a dedicated roundtable to explore the practical implications of these evolving requirements. This article synthesises the key perspectives that emerged from these discussions. It reflects the insights shared by participants on the challenges, good practices, and priorities shaping ESG risk management in the banking sector. While viewpoints naturally varied across experts and areas of expertise, a consistent message emerged: meaningful progress is being made, but some challenges remain as banks continue to operationalise the CRD VI framework and meet evolving supervisory expectations.
We asked the Country Head, Andrew Zacharias.

Here in Luxembourg we have been developing a reputation for consistent and high quality delivery of projects over the past few years โ in that period we have completed numerous office fit out & refurbishment projects (collectively over 50,000msq) for leading international companies without missing a single deadline and with exceptional customer feedback. As a result of our hard work and dedication to our clients and their projects we now have over 80% repeat business which demonstrates our passion for developing long term relationships. We do not however want to rest on our laurels. We believe we can provide something different to the Luxembourgish market, by leveraging international expertise with our local and European partner network, so our motivation to become a member was because the BCCL provides a platform and actively promotes the coming together of leading local and international companies to collaborate and share knowledge on a wide variety of topics that we can contribute to as well as being able to introduce ourselves to other members who are not yet familiar with ISG Luxembourg.
