Presentazione

These Operational Guidelines on Banking Corporate Social Responsibility are the result of the collaborative effort of the inter-bank working group set up within ABI (the Italian Banking Association) as a forum dedicated to the analysis and investigation of CSR issues. Furthermore, they are a response to the demand for a tool providing operational support to those banks that are interested in incorporating CSR into their strategies.
This manual offers guidance on a number of possible courses of action and useful references so as to enable banks to develop, across their organisation, their own CSR strategies. A modular approach is proposed: i.e., social responsibility does not follow one single path and its design should vary depending on: how mature CSR culture is within the banks, the initiatives taken, individual multi-faceted CSR aspects and cases the enterprise is faced with.
These Guidelines comprise three Chapters and one Appendix that investigate the following:

  • - fundamental strategic orientation
  • - strategy & policies
  • - indicators
  • - tools (Appendix)

These Guidelines are a tool addressing those who, for various reasons, are involved with: corporate governance, starting, managing and implementing CSR at the level of corporate functions and/or dedicated structures networking the many corporate nodes involved
