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 Nicki Kayser | Managing Partner | Linklaters LLP Luxembourg
Linklaters enjoys a long-standing relationship with the British Chamber of Commerce Luxembourg stretching back to the time of our former name partner Jacques Loesch, a committed anglophile and early supporter of the Chamber. ย Today, we enjoy participating in and contributing to the large variety of events organised by the British Chamber of Commerce Luxembourg and interact with the Chamberโs other members.
Digitalisation and sustainability. For some years now we have been at the forefront of the ESG developments, helping our clients to navigate the regulatory tsunami. ย With the effect of ESG regulations trickling down from more regulated entities like funds to economic actors at large, this subject is becoming ever more relevant for all our clients. ย Digitalisation, including transformative AI, is top of many of our clientsโ agendas and is set to shape tomorrowโs world.
How to switch off from work. ย The health and wellbeing of Linklatersโ people is central to how the firm operates. ย It is important to find the right balance to be able to close the (now often virtual) door of the office so as to be able to disconnect and return refreshed and motivated to the office.
