Initiatives and partnerships

Commitments
In April 1998, Dexia signed the United Nations Declaration of Financial Institutions on the Environment and Sustainable Development, an initiative of the United Nations Environmental Programme.

An additional commitment took concrete form in December 2002, when Dexia signed the Global Compact launched by the United Nations in July 2000 under the direct authority of Kofi Annan, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. This pact is based on nine principles reflecting the global, cross-sector dimension of sustainable development.

In September 2003, Dexia adopted the 'Equator Principles', a set of guidelines developed by a leading group of international banks for managing social and environmental issues related to the financing of development projects.

In 2006, Dexia signed the Principles for Responsible Investment.
Developed in collaboration with the UNEP-FI and the Global Compact, the PRI are six principles for the implementation of a scheme of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) in asset management activity, and they have been signed by Dexia Asset Management.

As a part of its climate change policy, in June 2007 Dexia subscribed to the “Declaration on International Financial Institutions, Debt and Climate Change” of the United Nations Environment Programme. This declaration is the first global commitment by the financial sector on the problems of climate change. Signatory companies undertake to integrate this issue into their daily decision taking. The Dexia Group signed this text in June 2007.
