We have studied the actual best practices in the world and having established the norms we are gradually implementing them in our own activities.
DEVELOPING ESG RISK MANAGEMENT
In 2020 our bank began developing its ESG risk management system.
The Bank's plans for 2022-2023:
Elaboration of the bank's ESG risk management system
Development of the lending process with a focus on ESG-factors
Specification of the main approaches to managing individual risk sub-types
Integration of risk management tasks into the Bank's Strategy
Determination of responsible subdivisions
Involvement of managers and line employees in the ESG management process
In 2018, the bank developed the Strategy for the three years and systematically implemented it, achieving the planned indicators. In 2021, the bank intends to update the Development Strategy for the next three years due to the changing external and internal factors affecting the bank's activities.

The bank aims to retain market positions in those niche products where we can offer unique products and services.

The bank remains committed to improving its client relationships and the ongoing digital transformation of processes. Said this, our key priorities remain the same: maintaining a high level of operating profitability, improving liquidity and capital ratios.
