Sustainability – ESG

Already since we were founded over 200 years ago, we take responsibility for society and strive for a positive development in our region.

We act for society and our planet

For more than 200 years, we have seen it as our social responsibility to provide everyone in our region – including those affected by poverty – with access to basic financial products. This commitment is still part of our DNA and promotes prosperity in our region. Therefore, as a European bank, we are now making our contribution to combating the climate crisis and contributing to solutions for a future worth living.

Towards net-zero

When money is managed and invested sustainably, it can change the world for good. Our 2024 Climate Report shares our progress thus far, as we work towards being a financial leader of the green transition in Central and Eastern Europe.

For us, sustainability is the ability to act for society and our planet. Our goal is to operate without depleting natural resources for future generations. As a bank, we also refer to this as ESG, which refers to environment, social (social commitment) and governance (our attitude as a company).
