VÖNIX
Raiffeisen Bank International | Sustainability Report 2018
RBI AG has been listed in the sustainability index of the Vienna Stock
Exchange – the VBV-Österreichischer Nachhaltigkeitsindex (VÖNIX
Index) – for 13 consecutive years. This index includes those domestic
companies listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange that are leading in
terms of their environmental and social activities and services. The
VÖNIX index, which was launched in June 2005, is one of the first
national sustainability indices and demonstrates the long-term benefit of
sustainable business and investment. The VÖNIX index is based on the
measurement of entrepreneurial sustainability. This requires a complex
model with extensive environmental and social exclusion criteria and
positive criteria.
As part of an annual sustainability analysis, information about the relevant sustainability criteria is surveyed for all
resident companies whose shares are listed on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange. Publicly available
company information, individual company sources and other materials such as press releases or databases serve as
sources.
