Abstract: This document outlines revised Sustainable Finance Guiding Principles to steer Kenya?s banking sector toward environmentally and socially responsible lending. It builds on the 2015 SFI and incorporates ESG goals, the NCCAP 2023?2027, and global frameworks like TCFD, TNFD, UNEP-FI. Six principles cover governance, disclosure, risk management, and sustainable product development. It promotes sustainability-linked loans and green bonds, aligns Kenya's banking with climate mitigation strategies, and encourages operational integrity through data systems. It serves as a roadmap for banks to integrate sustainability into core practices and respond to climate transition risks.
