Sustainable Development
Read the Sustainability Report online.
ABN AMRO formally embraced the sustainability concept by placing environmental, social and ethical (ESE) matters at the heart of our business.
Along with its pioneering role in the development of the Equator Principles, ABN AMRO’s leading position on sustainability has positively influenced the international financial services industry’s approach to sustainability practices, and has been recognised through awards such as the FT Sustainable Bank of the Year.
The acquisition of ABN AMRO by the consortium of Fortis, RBS and Santander will naturally raise questions about what happens to the ABN AMRO sustainability initiatives. All three banks understand this concern and, more importantly, appreciate the importance of sustainability to long-term business success. The consortium is working with us to combine their own best practices with those of the ABN AMRO businesses they have acquired as part of the integration process. They recognise the importance of balancing the interests of their stakeholders across our areas of influence and remain committed to good sustainable development performance in pursuit of their goals.
In our Group-wide Sustainability Review 2007, made in conjunction with our consortium partners, you can see why we believe sustainable development is the right way forward.
The 2007 Review and all other Sustainability Reports between 2003 and 2006 can be found on the Sustainability Review page.
