ESG Governance model

Safeguarding sound corporate governance

Effectively managing ESG and sustainable development issues

We updated our governance model, so that it reflects our holistic approach to ESG. Through this model, we aim to facilitate the implementation of our comprehensive strategy for sustainable development.

Board oversight

Our Board supervises and approves all our ESG goals and commitments.
The Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee is responsible for supervising all ESG issues at Board level.

Clear responsibilities at Management level

At Management level, we established the Group Sustainability Committee, which consists of 6 executive members, chaired by the Head of Wholesale Banking. The Committee holds a pivotal role in our new structure, as it is responsible for:

  • Supporting the Board with supervising ESG issues.
  • Guiding the Group ESG strategy.
  • Supervising the implementation of the strategy.

To ensure that ESG practices are adopted faster and more effectively at Group level, we:

  • Appointed a Group ESG coordinator, who is responsible for overseeing all ESG initiatives and guiding the cross-functional ESG Working Group.
  • Established the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Division, which coordinates all sustainability-related initiatives and ensures that best practices are adopted.
  • Established a cross-functional ESG Working Group (Risk Management, Retail Banking, Human Resources, Finance, Operations, Marketing and Communications, Wholesale Banking, Legal, Compliance and Governance).
