Leading
Responsibly
Leadership is as much about responsibility as it is about scale and size. It goes much beyond offering world-class banking products and services and is also about creating value for all our stakeholders. This means we are embedding ESG aspects into our business strategy. As a domestic systemically important bank, we feel this responsibility even more.
We have pledged to become carbon neutral by FY32. Lending decisions are being increasingly put through the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) lens and greater emphasis is being laid on green financing solutions.
At the same time, we are undertaking focused interventions that are making meaningful contributions to global sustainable development goals around reducing poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water and sanitation, quality education, and building sustainable communities.
Leveraging our unmatched physical network and robust digital capabilities, we are expanding our stakeholder universe where the real and virtual worlds converge seamlessly, and more people are brought into the economic mainstream. The unprecedented challenges of the past two years notwithstanding, we have made steady progress on our sustainability targets.
We believe in leading by example. Responsibility, thus, begins with us. We are deploying technology as a force multiplier and anchoring all our actions to the highest possible standards of Corporate Governance. Together with our stakeholders, we are building the bank of the future that can stand the test of time.
