Managing Corporate Responsibility In May 2009, taking into account international benchmarks, the foundations for an extensive corporate responsibility project were laid. Chief Executive Officer Gerald Wenzel and Kurt Kaiser, Head of Marketing & Communications, instigated the planning and implementation. Mirjam Ernst, head of the Corporate Marketing department, was tasked with the project management. As the Group’s sustainability representative, she is the first point of contact for sustainability matters. In April 2010 saw the publication of the first certified Corporate Responsibility Report with an extensive sustainability programme integrated in the consolidated report. Reporting was accompanied by a new intranet site and website. With the involvement of numerous experts from the Group, a core team was set up around these pillars. Each core team member is networked within their division with key personnel from the various departments. The motif “We live responsibility” expresses a strong commitment to sustainability. Sustainability affects us all Responsible action has a wide range of fields of action within the Association of Volksbanks: lived- out customer partnership, the development of sustainable investment products, fair loans, the environmentally-friendly deployment of commodities, safety in the workplace, employee support, support of neighbouring districts, responsible supplier management, business mediation as an innovative way of resolving conflicts and green events, to name just a few examples of a lived-out sustainable corporate culture. Diversity management – empowerment through diversity In summer 2009, ÖVAG launched an extensive Diversity Management project under the motto “The Equality of Difference and Difference as Enrichment”. Diversity relates to gender, age, ethnic background, disability, sexual orientation and religion among other things. Diversity management is a corporate strategy that views diversity not as a problem, but primarily as a resource. This often leads to win-win situations for companies, employees, partners and customers. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY >> Development through commitment, diversity and innovation.
