Transparency is crucial for our governance and for the confidence of all stakeholders. BayernLB regularly conducts a materiality analysis in accordance with the GRI standard for all relevant Group units. This identifies the most significant sustainability issues for stakeholders. The purpose of collecting data in this materiality analysis is to disclose the key environmental and sustainability aspects at BayernLB.
Intensive discussions with many social groups
There are many people and institutions that have a justified interest in BayernLB. We have intensive discussions with these stakeholders. The dialogue is shaped by various parts of the organisation, such as our HR Department, our various front office divisions, Investor Relations, our Press Department and Sustainability Management.
Engagement with sustainability-rating agencies
We have significantly intensified our exchange with rating agencies that focus on sustainability in recent years. Because sustainability ratings are gaining even more importance due to our strategic orientation as a #Fortschrittsfinanzierer.
Politics & lobbying
As a Landesbank, just under 75% of our shares are owned by the Free State of Bavaria. Our tasks are set out in the Bayerische Landesbank Act.
The real economy and financial sector
We work closely with companies in the real economy and financial sector. BayernLB is particularly committed to promoting transparency with regard to relevant sustainability criteria and performance indicators.
In cooperation with political decision makers, sector leaders, customers, NGOs and other stakeholders, we promote the transition to a sustainable and low-emission economy. We provide targeted support in establishing sustainable behaviour in the long term.
