Sustainability

Sustainability is about maintaining the right balance between social, economic and environmental decisions to ensure long-term business success. It is a key part of our global business strategy and involves how we conduct and develop sustainable businesses, how we treat people and how we contribute to the community in which we live and work.

We believe that it is our duty to our customers, investors and employees to foster an ethical, responsible and sustainable corporate philosophy. Commitment to sustainable principles must be part of a company’s culture, permeating every level of the organisation. Being a sustainable business helps us build lasting relationships with our customers, gains the confidence of investors and supports our brand in being one of the world's leading financial institutions.

As a responsible corporation, we shall actively engage in activities which contribute to the maintenance of stability and social order. We shall take a firm stand against those groups and organisations engaged in anti-social activities and shall have no interaction with them.

Our commitment focuses on three areas- the environment, education, and the community, with a particular focus on education - particularly for young people - and on the environment.
