This research examines the influence of environmental risk management (ERM) on the credit portfolio stability of commercial banks in Uzbekistan, utilising secondary data from sustainability reports, regulatory publications, and international financial institutions. The results show that banks with more advanced ERM frameworks, which include environmental screening, green lending, and sustainability governance, have lower non-performing loan (NPL) ratios and better asset quality. On the other hand, banks that don’t use ERM as much are still more vulnerable to environmental and credit risks. The study finds that integrating environmental risks into the banking system in Uzbekistan is necessary to make it more financially stable and in line with global standards for sustainable finance

This article examines the key risks faced by banks in forming green credit portfolios and identifies effective strategies for risk management. Drawing on international experience, the study analyzes the nature of credit, climate, transition, technological, operational, market, and greenwashing risks. The findings demonstrate that green loans possess a more complex risk profile compared to traditional lending and require the implementation of environmental taxonomies, energy-efficiency certification, independent audits, and state-supported financing mechanisms. For Uzbekistan, adopting these tools can improve the quality of bank credit portfolios, reduce environmental risks, and accelerate the country’s green economic transition.

This paper analyzes the key criteria of sustainability reporting and the internationally widely applied standards, including GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, as well as the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures). The role of sustainability reporting in assessing the long-term sustainability of organizational activities through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators is highlighted. The stakeholder-oriented nature of the GRI standards, the focus of IFRS S1 and S2 standards on the disclosure of financially material sustainability- and climate-related risks and opportunities, and the role of TCFD recommendations in climate risk management are examined. The findings of the study contribute to identifying the importance of international standards in the development of sustainability reporting
