Introduction
We are looking to cooperate with financial institutions (commercial banks, national development banks, multilateral institutions) to develop and design NCM-aligned eligibility criteria, and test them.
The criteria will be fully EU Taxonomy-aligned, as the NCM is included in the Climate Delegated Act FAQ 8.2 as tool to assess data-driven solutions for GHG emissions reduction.
What's in for you?
Having well-defined criteria for what qualifies as a green digital solution offers several concrete advantages:
Access to free advisory support
To design eligibility criteria that are Taxonomy-aligned and science-based
Enhance image and reputation
Supporting projects that combine digital innovation with measurable climate benefits helps reinforce a bank’s commitment to sustainability, while also enhancing its reputation among clients, regulators, and investors
Growth opportunities
Public and blended finance often comes with spending conditions, like the RRF’s 20% digital and 37% green requirements or EIB green credit lines*. Clear criteria make it easier to demonstrate alignment and unlock these funds
*More on the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) here.
What is the process?
May - September 2025
Onboarding of financial institutions by the EDGC team
September 2025 - February 2026
Gap analysis of the existing eligibility criteria to assess the extent to which the FI criteria are aligned with the EGDC Methodology / High-level portfolio review to identify the main types of relevant solutions / Recommendations for EGDC Methodology aligned eligibility criteria
February - December 2026
Application of the criteria to real use-cases and refinement
