Annual Integrated Report

108 Content ESG Finance Details Annual Integrated Report Table of Contents Introduction Value Creation | Economic Performance | Environmental Social Governance Appendices 3-3 Management of mate- rial topics As a financial institution, we face the risk of having our assessment of a product or service we offer, or an investment we have made, being socially or environmentally responsible, contested by customers, regulators, or third parties. The mounting interest from investors and regulators in ESG factors and the greater demand and scrutiny of ESG-related disclosures by financial institutions have also increased our risk of being perceived as, or accused of, making inaccurate or misleading statements about the investment strategies of our self-managed investment funds, or our ESG endeavors or initiatives, commonly known as greenwashing. Such perceptions or accusations have the potential to harm our reputation, trigger legal or regulatory actions, and adversely affect our business. Hence, the importance of a robust governance framework, as shown in the Sustainable Finance chapter (pages 33-35).
