Our sustainability commitment is a crucial component of our bank's success in the medium term, fully integrating the creation of long-term value for clients, employees and stakeholders into our business strategies and our management's financial remuneration.
Our senior management sets ESG targets for all areas as part of our strategic plan and we ensure that these targets are fully integrated into our daily business.
What does ESG mean for investors?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) holds significant relevance for investors seeking to build sustainable portfolios. ESG factors serve as crucial non-financial metrics that investors consider when evaluating the long-term sustainability and ethical impact of a company.
By integrating ESG criteria into their investment analysis and strategies, ESG investors aim to allocate capital to companies that exhibit strong ESG performance, thereby contributing to the creation of sustainable portfolios that align with their ethical and financial objectives, and to deliver competitive financial returns alongside positive societal and environmental impact.
What is UniCredit's ESG and sustainability strategy?
Our efforts towards sustainability have been recognised by external awards and improved ESG ratings (see Sustainability ESG ratings).
