Global Compact and Principles for Responsible Investment
Van Lanschot has signed the Global Compact and the Principles for Responsible Investment of the United Nations. This marks an important step for Van Lanschot towards incorporating sustainability principles in all its banking activities and complements the bank’s core values.
UN Global Compact
The United Nations Global Compact charter comprises ten universal principles for companies addressing human rights, labour conditions, the environment and anti-corruption. These principles are derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the guidelines of the International Labour Organization, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and the Convention against Corruption.
UN Principles for Responsible Investment
The United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment provide a framework for incorporating environmental, social and governance criteria in the bank’s investment policy. By signing these principles, the bank has underlined its commitment to observe these criteria when executing its investment policy.
