THE NEW HEADQUARTERS Lots of people have helped to build up our headquarters: >> We would like to thank all those involved for their hard work.
FOREWORD Our Commitment to Sustainable Behaviour and Action [1] Hans Hofinger Chairman of the Supervisory Board The VBAG Group is becoming more integrated, and has built a corporate headquarters that stands as a symbol of the new, unified bank. When the decision was taken in 2006 to build new premises that would meet the requirements of a modern, customer-oriented banking group, no-one imagined that it would become the headquarters of a new bank. The ongoing legal merger of Österreichische Volksbanken-Aktien - gesellschaft and Investkredit Bank AG is already taking physical shape by grouping together the employees of both banks. We are taking this opportunity to combine experience and innovation in order to be forward-looking. As the central institution in the cooperative association of Volksbanks, we have a long-term approach. Therefore it was an obvious decision to make our new headquarters sustainable. We have the support of experts such as the Austrian Sustainable Building Council here: they regard the new building as a successful building and certify its above-average quality in many sustainability aspects. Combining the old with the new is a trademark of the cooperative Volksbanks. This commitment – to respect old and new, traditional and modern alike – is also perfectly reflected in the new building. Its foundations are the cooperative Volksbank model, our proven values and our employees. To our target architecture – one bank, one brand, one aim, one strategy – we can now add one premises from which we will move the new bank forward. Together, we will inspire our customers and partners with our efficiency, quality and enthusiasm. We are pleased that the employees are now bringing the building to life, as our employees are our bank’s capital. This capital never appears in a balance sheet, but is crucial to shaping the future successfully. Gerald Wenzel Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Executive Board THE NEW HEADQUARTERS 3
