How to ensure we deliver

Our ESG strategy is built around four fundamentals:
- Leading by example, striving for the same high standards that we seek from those we do business with
- Setting ambitious ESG goals to support a just and fair transition for our clients'
- Equipping ourselves with tools to assist clients and communities in navigating the environmental and social transition through strategic sustainable actions across our building blocks
- Embracing and investing the resources needed to deliver and reach medium and long-term commitments (Net Zero, same salary for same role, Financial Health and Inclusion), setting targets to enable a more equal and sustainable future and society.

We have set ambitious ESG targets for all areas of our business as part of our strategic plan, including a strong commitment to constantly increase our social impact and support to communities transformation. Our success as a global sustainability leader is a result of our strong ESG commitment and requires us to set challenging targets against which our performance must continuously be monitored.

To strengthen and manifest our ESG commitments, bearing sustainability at the heart of everything we do, we have decided over the years to adhere to key international and institutional sustainability initiatives such as the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, the UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking, the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, and many others. For a detailed overview, please see our Integrated Report.
