Our strategy
OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY STRATEGY (CSR)
Represented on the Group Executive Committee, the Company Commitment created in 2017 is tasked with:
■ strengthening the CSR and diversity practices and bringing all the Company s levers together to meet major societal challenges;
■ defining and implementing commitments concerning economic growth, expansion, environment and energy transition, social inclusion and local development, diversity and promotion of human rights.
The Group s CSR policy is one of the main components of this approach. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is based on four pillars and 12 commitments that reflect its CSR challenges, as well as the Bank s concrete achievements. As part of a continuous improvement process, this strategy aims to build a more sustainable world while ensuring the Group s stability and performance. All of the Group s business lines, networks, subsidiaries and countries apply this policy, while adapting it to their specific characteristics.
