We follow a robust Governance model
Having a structured governance model, supported by policies and principles that ensure the effective and prudent management of our activity, is a fundamental indicator for the sustainability of our business. To this end, ESG strategy and risk management is conducted directly by the Executive Board of Directors (EBD), which participates directly in defining the strategy and action plans, and is supervised by the General Supervisory Board (GSB).
In this way, regular monitoring of the bank's implementation plans and ESG performance is ensured, as well as acting with transparency and impartiality.

Qualification and Incentives
In addition to the priority given to ensuring an organizational model and policy framework that promotes the integration of ESG into the business model, novobanco also prioritizes two essential tools for integrating ESG into the bank's culture:
Ensuring the development and deepening of knowledge and skills at all levels of the organization. The bank's management team (General Supervisory Board and Board of Directors) as well as the specialized teams of the ESG Office and the risk function receive additional and in-depth training on ESG topics and risk management of climate and environmental risks.
Integrating ESG indicators in the performance assessment and variable remuneration of the management team: the collective and individual KPIs for evaluating the performance of EBD members include ESG objectives. Every year, these KPIs and targets are reviewed and approved by the GSB. The departmental performance assessment model also includes ESG KPIs at the corporate level and, when applicable, a specific ESG KPI.
We establish sustainable partnerships
In the quest for a more sustainable world, we have the support of several important organisations in Portugal. These are partnerships that we have built up and that we intend to maintain, always with one goal in mind: A better future.
