Non-financial report 2022
Banque Raiffeisen, the country’s leading cooperative financial institution, has published its second non-financial report. It is a key document highlighting the Bank’s sustainability strategy. Banque Raiffeisen aligns its initiatives with the “Sustainable Development Goals”, which address the needs of society to protect natural and economic resources, ensure environmental preservation and work towards a better ecological transition.
Raiffeisen, naturally responsible
Banque Raiffeisen's ambition is to offer high quality products and services while building strong and lasting relationships with all its stakeholders, shareholders, customers and partners.
From the very beginning, the principle of sustainability has been an inherent part of the cooperative bank's DNA.
Interview with Yves Biewer Sustainability at Banque Raiffeisen
For Banque Raiffeisen, contributing positively to sustainability and thus to the welfare of its members and customers is a given.
ESG is a concept that is closely related to CSR. The acronym ‘ESG’ stands for Environmental, Social and Governance criteria, which allow for a company’s extra-financial analysis.
With these criteria, it is possible to find out whether a company implements a socially responsible strategy, and, in particular, how it behaves towards the environment and its stakeholders, in other words its employees, partners, contractors and customers.
ENVIRONMENTAL consciousness
Being in the heart of society is tantamount to bearing responsibility towards preserving our environment and what we pass on to future generations, not only in terms of ecology, but also in terms of societal values.
SOCIAL dimension
Raiffeisen allows each of its employees to reconcile professional and personal welfare.
