Sustainability
Vision
Commitment to
lasting development
The year 2009 marked the consolidation of
our sustainability positioning.
Shortly after the announcement of the merger between Itaú and
Unibanco, we released two documents: the Essence of Sustainability,
which outlines the eight priority themes for the Bank’s actions to ensure
its long-term sustainability; and the Sustainability Policy, whose
guidelines permeate our strategy, management and relationship
with all stakeholders.
The Executive Committee also approved our new Sustainability Governance, which institutionalized
company-wide sustainability discussions and decisions among the heads of our many areas.
We set out challenges that transcend our own operations, as they are predicated on a model of the
awareness of society and the responsible use of financial products and services. Through these three
defined structures, which have been widely disseminated to our employees, we are reaffirming our
commitment to sustainable development, with a focus on dialogue and transparency.
For Itaú Unibanco, sustainability means maintaining our business over the short, medium and
long-term, to deliver continual value to our stakeholders.
This understanding gains even more strength with the release of our new vision, which reinforces
the importance of sustainable performance.
