Corporate social responsibility can be a complex field, involving a wide range of interests. What’s more, as an international financial services provider, Fortis acts as an intermediary in value chains that are often long and intricate. In view of this complexity, we are keen to support our CSR commitment by taking an active part in a number of international networks. Membership of these networks enables us to compare our sustainability performance with that of our peers; to contribute to the international guidelines by which our policies and performance are measured; and to share ideas, challenges and opportunities with a diverse group of stakeholders.

UNEP FI
The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a unique global partnership between UNEP and over 160 financial institutions who are signatories to the UNEP FI Statements. Signatory companies pledge to integrate environmental considerations in all aspects of their operations. For Fortis, membership of UNEP FI gives us the opportunity to network with other prominent financial institutions, to engage with representatives from the public and private sectors and to share best practices. In so doing, it makes a meaningful contribution to our ambition to grow in an environmentally sustainable way. |
