Launches 2016 CSR Report and new website
Scotiabank published its 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility report, Investing in Progress, as well as a new CSR website today. In this report Scotiabank discusses the progress made on its CSR Strategy: Better Future, Better Off. Scotiabank believes that every customer has the right to become better off. Our CSR commitments to Customers, Employees, the Environment, Communities and Corporate Governance demonstrate how we are creating value for both society and the Bank.
Seven priorities underpin these five commitments; Access to Finance, Financial Knowledge, Diversity & Inclusion, Climate Change, Responsible Financing, Investing in Young People and Maintaining Trust. The 2016 CSR Report and Website demonstrate progress with KPIs and stories focussed on each of these priorities. Highlights include:
“Scotiabank is one of Canada’s longest-enduring companies — we are proud to be one of the largest 25 banks in the world, with 23 million customers and operations in almost 50 countries. The report and stories reflect the deep pride in the role Scotiabank and our employees continue to play in supporting strong communities, a healthy environment and economic growth.” Brian Porter, Scotiabank CEO.
This year Scotiabank produced a separate Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Index highlighting social, economic and environmental disclosure. We also published our 2016 Public Accountability Statement as required by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
