Sustainability: Commitment towards the environment

Commitment towards the environment






Aware and sensitive to the environmental impact that every business activity generates in its environment, Ibercaja is committed to protecting the environment and combating climate change, taking into account both the environmental impact of its own facilities and that of its financial activity.
a. THROUGH BANKING AND FINANCIAL ACTIVITY
 
Ibercaja responds to the challenge implied by climate change and regulatory demands related to climate change, working to integrate environmental and climate aspects in a cross-cutting way throughout the organization.

To this end, the Entity refers to the objectives of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and advances in the implementation of the recommendations of the Task Force for Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

On this path, Ibercaja undertakes to:

  • Analyze climate and environmental risks, their impact on customers and their financial activity, for their gradual integration in compliance with regulatory requirements.
 
  • Transparently communicate advances in environmental sustainability, raising awareness internally and externally to foster a sense of environmental responsibility.
 
  • To assume and endorse the main national and international commitments that help environmental protection and the fight against climate change, working on its implementation.
