Initiatives

 

We recognise the impact that our actions have on the world around us and look to act in a responsible and sustainable manner. To build further on our sustainability in the years ahead, we have focused on four key areas that we monitor and measure on an ongoing basis: trust and integrity, people, environment and society.

Trust and Integrity

As a financial products and services provider, we understand the role we must play in helping to restore trust in our industry. To this end, we continuously work to inspire, maintain and strengthen the trust of our clients, employees and other stakeholders.

Our frameworks, standards and policies are the basis for our culture of integrity and trust. This culture is further upheld through our values and everyday actions, especially when dealing with dilemmas that are not inherently right or wrong. We avoid activities and transactions that border on the permissible or go against the spirit of the law or ethical principles of proper conduct. Being transparent about how we deal with these dilemmas, both internally and externally, helps to build trust.

NIBC’s policies and principles to support integrity, transparency and compliance include our Code of Conduct, Business Principles and Compliance Framework.

People

We offer a stimulating working environment where our people feel safe and feel free to be themselves. Respect and inclusiveness are important values. And we invest in the development and growth of our people, because our success ultimately depends on both the quality and the job satisfaction of our people.

Environment

We manage our direct impact on the environment through an environmental sustainability programme.

Carbon neutral

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and water scarcity are signs of unprecedented pressure on the environment and the planet’s ecological limits. NIBC is committed to reducing negative impacts on the environment in our business activities and helping clients in their transition towards more responsible practices.

NIBC’s ambition is to support the transition to a sustainable economy with a goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in line with the Paris Agreement. Since 2010, we have measured our carbon emissions, realised substantial reductions and purchased certified gold standard carbon offsets for any remaining emissions. In addition, 100% of electricity used in NIBC’s facilities is purchased from clean, renewable sources.

NIBC aims to reduce adverse climate risks and impacts related to the assets we finance and to pursue positive impacts. Climate is an opportunity for NIBC to engage with our clients and to develop products and services which help our clients to transition and adapt to a changing environment.
