About this LEAP Use Case

IndusInd Bank conducted a pilot on the implementation of the LEAP approach on its agriculture corporate loans portfolio in India. The pilot focused on determining sensitive locations and understanding impacts and dependencies across 12 Indian states. 

Key outcomes

  • Data challenges can be addressed by requiring more comprehensive information from clients, including standardised templates for location data and supply chain information.
  • The findings can inform the bank's nature-related risk management framework by standardising data collection, using sectoral 'heatmapping', and enhancing environmental and social risk evaluation checklists.
  • The pilot highlights the importance of incorporating nature specialists within the bank's sustainability team to ensure a focus on nature-related issues.
  • Client engagement strategies should focus on raising awareness about TNFD requirements in the short term and helping high-impact clients establish nature strategies in the medium term.
