Transparent processes, structured reporting, and a clear focus on the material: The HCOB CSR Report 2022 impresses not only with convincing content, but also with a further evolution of the fresh and clear design. For the first time, the report was also audited by an auditor.

Together with the ESG department of HCOB, we have taken reporting to the next level. A materiality analysis and the continued development of the sustainability strategy as well as ambitious sustainability goals form the foundation for the first-time compliance with the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the international gold standard for sustainability reporting. In addition to setting targets for the coming years, the report also provides information on the concrete achievement of targets in the past business year and thus transparently shows the current status of sustainability work at HCOB.

Reporting on the EU taxonomy as well as on the standards of the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) and on HCOB's contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations round off the portfolio and ensure compliance with all relevant standards.

Thanks to different combinations of geometric shapes, generous colour areas as well as concise headlines, the appeal is also constantly maintained in the design. An interactive menu allows quick navigation and direct access to all fields of action.
