Abstract

This paper reviews the increasing attention given by banks to environmental considerations in the course of bank lending. Proceeding from an examination of legal liabilities, the paper concludes that prospects of liability falling on the bank, while not impossible, are remote, assuming that the bank acts responsibly. On the other hand, indirect impacts of liability rules - such as the impact of laws on a client's ability to repay a loan - are increasingly pervasive. This is true to the point that prudent lending policy must take account of environmental considerations.
