Our main objectives in the ESG strategy of Ipotekabank

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) formulated by the UN set up a new, universal measure for development by 2030, taking a stand for eliminating poverty, and the fight against climate change and inequalities. In line with our sustainable development goals, Ipotekabank, as a subsidiary of OTP Group, is committed to fostering these goals.

• 5. Gender equality
• 7. Affordable and clean energy
• 8. Decent work and economic growth
• 9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
• 11. Sustainable cities and communities
• 13. Climate action

It should be noted, the goals of the ESG strategy are also linked to the SDGs.

How we achieve those:
