ABN AMRO has developed sustainability policies for the sectors in which the bank operates. The policies describe our procedures for dealing with sustainability issues within these sectors. They address the specific characteristics of each sector, define the sustainability risks involved and outline the appropriate management procedure.
Agriculture
Agriculture is important for our food supply. Nevertheless, we are aware of the sustainability issues at play in this sector.
Animal Protein
ABN AMRO closely monitors the environmental, social and ethical (ESE) aspects of the production of animal protein.
Chemicals and Pharma
ABN AMRO recognises that the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries entail significant sustainability risks.
Commercial Real Estate
As a provider of financial services, ABN AMRO is a strategic partner for its clients in the commercial real estate sector.
Defence
Our defence sector policy recognises the right of countries to procure means for self-defence.
Extractive Industry
ABN AMRO closely manages the environmental, social and ethical (ESE) impact associated with the mining and metals sector.
Financial Institutions
ABN AMRO’s clients in the financial sector face similar sustainability risks to those ABN AMRO faces.
Manufacturing
A large part of the world’s population works in the manufacturing industry. ABN AMRO closely scrutinises the sustainability issues in this sector, including working conditions and pollution.
Oil & Gas
The extraction and combustion of fossil energy makes a significant contribution to global warming and must therefore be part of the strategy to limit this global warming.
Power generation
Power generation from fossil sources contributes to climate change. But power generation based on renewable sources also sometimes entails sustainability risks.
Transport
Transport is extremely important to our economy – but it also contributes to global warming. This sector is also associated with human rights and exploitation issues.
