BBVA Updates its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy
BBVA has recently updated its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy with several new additions following the recommendations of Spain’s financial market regulator, the CNMV, and the bank’s growing commitment to its role in sustainable banking.
The specific principles of this policy are the focus on having a positive impact on society, respect for people’s dignity and their inherent rights, community investment, and BBVA’s involvement as an agent of social change.
“If I had to pick what most stands out in this new policy, I would say the greater commitment to human rights at the level of the Board of Directors and the involvement of the bank, together with other stakeholder groups, in promoting the change our world needs to create opportunities for everyone, dedicating its abilities, knowledge, skills and corporate resource to this purpose”, said Antoni Ballabriga, Global Director of Responsible Business at BBVA.
According to this update, BBVA ensures compliance with corporate social responsibility at all times, managing its activities based on the impact they have on its employees, customers, society in general, and the environment.
In terms of the environment and inclusive development, sustainability is one of the bank’s strategic priorities in order to help its clients in the transition to a sustainable future.
