Impact Analysis

A sus­tain­able future does not come on its own. It requires sig­nif­i­cant changes and sig­nif­i­cant changes require joint efforts. Sydbank has signed the UN Prin­ci­ples for Re­spon­si­ble Banking, which will boost the Bank’s efforts to con­tribute to a sus­tain­able tran­si­tion.

Sydbank’s Impact Analysis is prepared as part of Sydbank’s im­ple­men­ta­tion of the UN Prin­ci­ples for Re­spon­si­ble Banking and also serves as a con­tri­bu­tion to comply with the rec­om­men­da­tions of the Forum for Sus­tain­able Finance focusing on CO₂ emissions.

The purpose of an impact analysis is to identify the areas of activity where the Bank’s existing business model and business volume relative to the 17 UN Sus­tain­abil­i­ty De­vel­op­ment Goals have the most sig­nif­i­cant negative and positive impact in terms of people, the en­vi­ron­ment, and the economy. The analysis includes ac­tiv­i­ties within the Bank’s core ac­tiv­i­ties: finance and in­vest­ment.
