As an international banking group, we consider ourselves obliged to support these important international initiatives
within the scope of our sustainability agenda. Our focus is on those SDGs that are most material and relevant to
our business activities and that best complement our sustainability strategy.
To make this possible, we worked with an external consultant in 2017 to create a structured process to identify
the SDGs that are most material to our business.

Of the ten SDGs identified as most relevant to RBI, the
eight mentioned below were considered particularly
relevant – both for the Group as a whole and for the core
business. Priority will be given to these SDGs over the
coming years. They directly expand upon the aspects
#and topics that have already been identified as material.
The topics and aspects addressed in this Report that have
SDG relevance are specially indicated.
