Itaú's search for a more sustainable world has come a long way.
The journey towards a more sustainable business and supply chain started over 20 years ago. The experience and strength to incorporate sustainability into our business has led to recognition by the world’s top sustainability indexes and ratings. They also drive us to seek the next step at all times on a true journey of evolution.
Positive impact commitments are the basis of our ESG strategy to guide this pathway. In 2019 we established our Positive Impact Commitments to focus on the development of initiatives in connection with ten topics with the greatest potential for positive impact. We are constantly attentive to the consequences of our actions. This means that we are aware that we can create value for society through our projects, products, and services. We know that the banking sector plays a fundamental role in driving growth and socioeconomic development and want to be part of this change. We believe that people have the power to change the world. We also believe that a bank can drive this change. Our public goals for positive impact reflect this purpose.
Get to know our positive impact commitments
Our commitments were launched in 2019, after a period of studies and diagnosis of the global challenges of the sustainability agenda. During this process we have engaged in dialogue with employees, internal leaders, experts and representatives of civil society to identify material topics.
All commitments have targets to guide Itaú Unibanco’s business in the coming years, and all of these targets are monitored and carried out by senior management and their teams. On the other hand, anyone who works at Itaú can identify ways to incorporate these topics into their own activities or projects.
