Environmental and social risk assessments are guided by our environmental, social, operational and reputational risk sector policies as well as by our human rights commitment. Moreover, we proactively and reactively interact with the ESG rating agencies with the aim of communicating and monitoring the Group sustainability strategy, and improving our positioning and disclosure. Our sustainability performance is reflected in the key external ratings.
In line with our Purpose of empowering communities to progress, and in the context of an evolving external environment, we aim at steering our behaviour by enhancing our sustainability policies framework.
Certain sectors and activities require a specialized approach to ensure that transactional and related risks are properly addressed. We have developed detailed policies for those sectors relevant to UniCredit that are liable to special environmental and social risks.
We also have specific policies in place which contribute to human rights topics such as our Human Rights Commitment, as well as other regulations such as the Code of Conduct, the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Global Policy, the Whistleblowing Policy and the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering of Terrorist Financing (CTF) Policy.
These policies are inspired by international agreements, guidelines, and standards (including the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards, the World Bank Group Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines and the principles of the UN Global Compact), as well as other practices widely employed by specific industries.
These policies are regularly reviewed in order to ensure their continued relevance.
