ING sells financial products and services. Not only in the Netherlands but all over the world. We aim to grow and to pursue a profit, but not at any cost. For instance not at the cost of the environment and biodiversity, nor at the expense of people or human rights.
Wherever we operate, we endeavour to take part in society in a positive and responsible way - be it in India, Mexico, Australia or the Netherlands.

So how do we do that? It goes without saying that ING complies with national and international laws and regulations. But we do more. In many of the countries that we operate, laws do not provide answers to important questions on issues like deforestation, pollution, child labour or weapons. That is why it is important to us to form our own opinion on these issues. ING will not invest in cluster bombs, for instance, despite the fact that practically no country prohibits their production.
We have our own vision on ethical topics, the environment, people and society. This vision is translated in the policies we apply all over the world. By promoting continuous dialogue with our stakeholders - i.e. ING’s employees, customers and shareholders, but also organisations engaged in issues concerning human rights or the climate - we are constantly evaluating our policies and adjusting them where necessary. For more information on our policies, please visit www.ing.com/cr and click on ‘Principles and Policies’.
ING is a global financial services provider. We pursue profit, but not at any cost. Our activities are based on ethical principles that take into account people, the environment and society at large.
