中诚信绿金完成对俄罗斯天然气工业银行可持续金融框架及项目评估方法的独立评估

    近日，中诚信绿金科技（北京）有限公司（China Chengxin Green Finance Technology (Beijing) Ltd.，简称“中诚信绿金”或“CCXGF”）受俄罗斯天然气工业银行（Gazprombank）委任，作为独立外部评估机构，就其更新后的《可持续金融框架》（以下简称“《可持续金融框架》”）及配套的《可持续发展项目定量评估方法》（以下简称“《项目评估方法》”）提供第二方意见（Second Party Opinion），并出具评估与核证报告。《项目评估方法》旨在系统判定拟融资项目是否符合既定的遴选标准，并对相关项目产生的环境影响进行量化评估。

    作为俄罗斯金融体系中的重要机构之一，俄罗斯天然气工业银行近年来在环境、社会和公司治理（ESG）领域展现出明确的战略承诺，并在实践层面采取了务实举措，尤其在本地化ESG实践以及中俄可持续合作方面取得了积极进展。2021年，俄罗斯天然气工业银行正式发布《可持续发展政策》，并加入联合国环境规划署金融倡议（UNEP FI）发起的《负责任银行原则》（Principles for Responsible Banking），将去碳化进程、体面工作以及透明的利益相关方沟通确立为核心优先事项。通过上述举措，该行在将可持续发展战略与实践融入其核心业务运营方面发挥了积极的引领作用。

    2025年，俄罗斯天然气工业银行对其《可持续金融框架》进行了更新，将其作为指导可持续融资活动的顶层内部政策文件，进一步明确了可持续融资的基本原则与实施路径，并重申了其对可持续发展的长期承诺。为提升该框架在实际操作层面的适用性，俄罗斯天然气工业银行同时制定并发布了《项目评估方法》，系统界定了项目在可持续发展维度下的评估原则与流程，以及对相关项目所产生环境与社会影响进行量化评估的方法体系。

    作为独立外部评估机构，中诚信绿金对《可持续金融框架》及《项目评估方法》分别开展了独立、客观的评估工作。评估结果显示，俄罗斯天然气工业银行《可持续金融框架》的四项核心要素与国际资本市场协会（ICMA）发布的《绿色债券原则》（2025年版）、《社会债券原则》（2025年版）及《可持续债券指引》（2021年版），以及由贷款市场协会（LMA）、亚太贷款市场协会（APLMA）和贷款银团与交易协会（LSTA）联合发布的《绿色贷款原则》（2025年版）和《社会贷款原则》（2025年版）保持高度一致。该框架与俄罗斯天然气工业银行整体可持续发展战略具有较高相关性，在实现既定环境和/或社会目标方面具备较强可行性，并在环境和/或社会风险管理方面展现出较高的有效性。

    此外，中诚信绿金认为，俄罗斯天然气工业银行制定的《可持续发展项目定量评估方法》在信息披露与方法论设计方面体现了透明性、准确性、完整性、相关性、一致性与审慎性原则。其评估流程符合《绿色债券原则》（2025年版）、《社会债券原则》（2025年版）、《可持续债券指引》（2021年版）、《绿色贷款原则》（2025年版）及《社会贷款原则》（2025年版）的核心要求，同时亦符合中国绿色债券标准委员会在中国绿色债券框架下提出的基础性要求。

China Chengxin Green Finance Technology (Beijing) Ltd. (CCXGF) was appointed by Gazprombank as an independent external reviewer to provide a Second Party Opinion, as well as an assessment and verification report, on Gazprombank’s updated Sustainable Finance Framework (the “Sustainable Finance Framework”) and the accompanying Sustainable Development Project Quantitative Assessment Methodology (the “Project Assessment Methodology”). Project Assessment Methodology is specifically designed to determine whether eligible projects meet the relevant selection criteria and to quantify their associated environmental impacts.

As one of the leading institutions in the Russian financial system, Gazprombank has demonstrated a clear strategic commitment to ESG and a pragmatic approach to its implementation in recent years, achieving notable progress particularly in localized practices and China–Russia cooperation. In 2021, Gazprombank adopted its Sustainable Development Policy and became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Banking under the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), identifying decarbonization, decent work, and transparent stakeholder dialogue as core priorities. Through these actions, the Bank has played a leading role in integrating sustainable business strategies and practices into its core operations.

In 2025, Gazprombank updated its Sustainable Finance Framework as a top-level internal policy document, setting out the principles and approach governing its sustainable financing activities and reaffirming its commitment to sustainable development. To further enhance the operational applicability of the Framework, Gazprombank also introduced Project Assessment Methodology, which defines the principles and procedures for assessing project eligibility against sustainable development criteria, as well as the methodologies for quantifying the environmental and social impacts generated by such projects.

In its capacity as an external assessment institution, CCXGF conducted independent evaluations of both the Sustainable Finance Framework and the Project Assessment Methodology. CCXGF confirms that the four core components of the Gazprombank Sustainable Finance Framework are aligned with the Green Bond Principles (2025 edition), Social Bond Principles (2025 edition) and Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2021 edition) issued by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), as well as the Green Loan Principles (2025 edition) and Social Loan Principles (2025 edition) issued by the Loan Market Association (LMA), the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) and the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA). The Framework demonstrates a high degree of relevance to Gazprombank’s sustainable development strategy, a strong likelihood of achieving its stated environmental and/or social objectives, and a high level of effectiveness in managing environmental and/or social risks.

Furthermore, CCXGF finds that the Gazprombank Sustainable Development Project Quantitative Assessment Methodology is transparent, accurate, complete, relevant, consistent, and responsible, and is aligned with the precautionary principle. The assessment process meets the fundamental requirements of the Green Bond Principles (2025 edition), Social Bond Principles (2025 edition), Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2021 edition), Green Loan Principles (2025 edition) and Social Loan Principles (2025 edition), as well as the baseline requirements set out by the Green Bond Standard Committee of China under the China Green Bond framework.
