In 1998 BayernLB established and published its Environmental policy. It covers all the major ways in which the Bank helps protect the environment. More details can be found in the document on BayernLB's Sustainability and Environmental policy.

In reducing our environmental footprint, we rely on technical solutions, such as the use of energy-saving LED lamps. However, our employees also make a valuable contribution here by modifying their consumption, for example in the use of paper.

In some areas, such as water consumption or office heating, the weather also plays a part. In hot summers, there is an increased requirement for water to maintain grounds and outdoor facilities; harsh winters extend the period when heating is needed, thus increasing energy consumption.

Compliance with recognised environmental and social standards

We expect suppliers and external service providers that want to do business with BayernLB to comply with recognised environmental and social standards, including the core labour standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
