Indirectly, through the products and services we provide to our customers, e.g. lending money to finance our customers’ operations and,
Indirectly, through the products and services we procure, e.g. the technology and equipment we purchase to run our business.
We aim to deliver an environmental sustainability strategy that delivers cost reductions, reduces environmental impacts, increases revenue opportunities and enhances our reputation in all locations in which we operate.
