Materiality

The Bank is committed to overseeing and preventing social and environmental impacts from the operations of the Bank and its supply-chain counterparties, by managing risks within the supply chain covering economic, social, and environmental areas, as well as managing the image and reputation of the Bank. The Bank has established the Supplier Code of Conduct to reflect our expectations of suppliers regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG) and encourage them to conduct their business responsibly in keeping with the Bank’s Supplier Code of Conduct. In addition, the Bank places importance on ESG risk management in the supply chain that is appropriate to the Bank’s business context as well as promoting the procurement of environmentally friendly products. We also organize sustainability knowledge sharing activities for the Bank’s suppliers to build a stable, effective supply chain that will create sustainable value for the environment and society.
