New climate policy and strategy
In 2017, the focus was placed on creating a climate policy and strategy for the member organizations of the RNI.
The implementation took place in cooperation with the Environment Agency Austria in multiple one-day
workshops with representatives from the member organizations. Finally, mid-term and long-term climate goals
with comprehensive suggestions of measures were elaborated that can provide a path to decarbonization by
2050. The environmental balance sheet of the Raiffeisen Banking Group in Austria, published for the first time in
2015, served as an essential foundation for this.
Within the framework of the climate strategy process, three core areas with 21 fields of action were identified
that form the pillars of the “climate strategy house”. The three core areas are products and services, operations,
processes and strategies as well as dialog and communication. Measures as well as opportunities and risks
were elaborated for each field of action.
In addition to the workshops, a comprehensive online survey of the relevant internal and external stakeholders of
the RNI member organizations was conducted in the spring of 2017 in order to also incorporate their expectations
as best possible.
