Our corporate values
Formulated in 1997, our Corporate Values provide the foundation for the bank's Business Principles. They also help us deliver on our commitment to sustainable development. So that we can meet the needs of our organisation and stakeholders today, while still protecting, sustaining and enhancing human, natural and financial capital for the future.
Integrity
Above all, we are committed to integrity in all that we do. Always and everywhere.

Teamwork lies at the heart of our ability to succeed as a trusted and preferred supplier of financial solutions to our clients. Our overriding loyalty is to the good of the wider organisation. We learn from each other and share our skills and resources across organisational boundaries to the benefit of our clients and the Group as a whole.
Respect
We respect every individual. We draw strength from equal opportunity and diversity, at the same time supporting personal growth and development. We value, and we all benefit from, the entrepreneurial spirit of each individual.
Professionalism
We are committed to the highest standards of professionalism. We pursue innovation, deploy imagination, are open to new ideas and act decisively and consistently. We are determined to deliver outstanding quality, so that our relationships with our clients will be long-lasting and close.
Our Business Principles
ABN AMRO is an ambitious institution, committed to continuous improvement in everything we do. Our success depends on excellent performance and a solid reputation. Transparency and dialogue are crucial in all our relationships if we are to maintain our reputation as a respectable and reliable institution.
Based on our four Corporate Values, we have formulated Business Principles to guide all our employees in their daily work. Defining them clarifies what we stand for and unites us as a group. These Business Principles are:
- We are the heart of our organisation.
- We pursue excellence.
- We aim to maximise long-term shareholder value.
- We manage risk prudently and professionally.
- We strive to provide excellent service.
- We build our business on confidentiality.
- We assess business partners on their standards.
- We are a responsible institution and a good corporate citizen.
- We respect human rights and the environment.
- We are accountable for our actions and open about them.
Business Principles alone are not the answer to every problem, but they do challenge us to translate their spirit into our daily practice and shift our horizons beyond short-term profit to long-term value creation through sustainable development.
