KGFT v1.0 ยท CBK Climate Risk Disclosure

Kenya's green finance
compliance infrastructure.

Purpose-built screening and reporting for Kenyan commercial banks. One data trail โ€” from loan origination to annual CBK disclosure.

* Illustrative only โ€” not a production classification output. Eligibility determination requires full criteria assessment.

Two compliance demands.
Same underlying data.

Every commercial bank in Kenya now faces two green finance obligations that pull on the same loan book. At origination, facilities need to be screened against the Kenya Green Finance Taxonomy โ€” the right questions asked, the right evidence gathered, at the point the loan is written.

At disclosure, that same portfolio must be reported to the Central Bank of Kenya across five prescribed climate risk templates, with every submitted figure traceable back to the loans that produced it.

Handled separately, these become two manual workstreams that don't reconcile. Handled together, the evidence gathered at origination is exactly what the disclosure requires. Leteni builds both โ€” and connects them.

Screen once at origination.
Report from it at disclosure.

GreenScreen structures the evidence trail as loans are written. ClimateReport draws on that same classified data to assemble your CBK submission. The work you do at the point of lending is the work that makes disclosure defensible.

Stage 01 ยท At origination
GreenScreen
A loan officer describes the facility in plain language. GreenScreen determines KGFT eligibility, generates the structured question set, and produces a classification report โ€” time-stamped and officer-attributed.

Stage 02 ยท At disclosure
ClimateReport
The classified portfolio feeds the five CBK reporting templates โ€” physical risk, transition risk, materiality, metrics, and alignment โ€” with each figure traceable to the underlying loans.

Both tools run today as standalone products. Used together, the origination evidence trail flows straight into disclosure โ€” no re-keying, no reconciliation gap.

Two tools. One compliance mandate.

Leteni is built in direct reference to the CBK Climate-Related Risk Reporting Templates (April 2025) and the Kenya Green Finance Taxonomy v1.0. Not adapted from a European framework โ€” built for the Kenyan regime, against the source documents.

See it against your own loan book.

Leteni is in guided pilot with a small number of banks and ESG consultants preparing for the January 2027 CBK deadline. Guided access runs provides a walk-through on your own loan book, walks your team through structured onboarding, and works alongside your data and reporting functions to get the required datasets in place.
