Our approach to sustainability
In pursuing our purpose, we seek to integrate sustainability into our operations. Our refreshed Sustainability Strategy is underpinned by a variety of position statements, policies and plans, all of which have supporting actions.
Our Sustainability Strategy comprises six objectives structured around our strategic pillars. These objectives are to:
- Enhance financial inclusion and equality
- Strengthen data security and protection
- Become a net-zero, climate resilient bank
- Become a nature positive bank
- Respect and advance human rights
- Enable diversity and inclusion.
Our sustainability topics are supported by a range of disclosures that provide more detail on our approach.
