ABN AMRO Clearing’s purpose is to lead the way to safe and transparent markets globally
Sustainability is an integral part of this purpose. In line with ABN AMRO’s strategy “Banking for Better for generations to come” we focus on how we can become sustainable ourselves and on how we can assist our clients in their sustainability transition.
ABN AMRO Clearing plays a strong role in the Financial Markets Infrastructure, in a value chain that is closely interlinked, and facilitates liquidity providers in financial markets across the globe. Together with exchanges, CCP’s, industry bodies and other market participants we can make substantial progress in providing liquidity to sustainable markets and products.
By creating partnerships with our staff, clients and the industry, we can make a difference.
ABN AMRO Clearing believes that staff engagement and awareness is key to contributing to sustainability. We have a strong culture of philanthropy and charity support in our regions where staff choose the causes close to their hearts and have a strong local impact.
ABN AMRO Clearing is committed to compensating our CO2 emissions from our data centers, travel and facilities as well as contributing to reforestation initiatives in every region where we run business facilities. We have set up a program for tree planting initiatives with staff as well as contributing to larger scale projects in Europe and Australia. Furthermore a modernization of our infrastructure is enabling us to process our business with a lower carbon footprint.
We appraise all our clients against our Sustainability Risk policy. ABN AMRO Clearing believes that engaging in dialogue with clients on Sustainability topics helps raise awareness, and can kick start joint efforts to address sustainability with each other and in the industry.
ABN AMRO Clearing recognises the role it plays in safeguarding and contributing to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Together with the industry and our clients, ABN AMRO Clearing works to set higher standards. We encourage sensible regulatory frameworks and engage in dialogue with our partners and clients through industry associations, panels and events.
We work together with the WFE (World Federation of Exchanges), UN SS, FIA and participate in various climate advisory committees as well as being signatories of the UN PRI principles.
