Embedding sustainability in all that we do is one of the five strategic imperatives of UniCredit Unlocked.
Our ESG Strategy is built on strong fundamentals and interconnected elements to deliver value:
1. ESG principles, representing our important milestones woven through UniCredit Unlocked
2. Leading by example, striving to set high standards for ourselves and also from those we do business with
3. Setting ambitious ESG goals to support a just and fair transition for our clients
4. Equipping ourselves with tools to assist clients and communities in navigating the environmental and social transition through strategic sustainable actions
5. Embracing and investing the resources needed to deliver and reach our ESG targets and long-term commitments, through a strong Governance Model, embracing our Culture and delivering quality Monitoring, Reporting and Disclosure.
UniCredit’s ESG Strategy is embodied in the Group ESG Roadmap which is our operative tool to work on ESG priorities across the organisation and ensures a common direction, with several workstreams reflecting the key elements described above.
