Report Highlights

As the title "Asking Questions" indicates, WestLB reflects on the connections between major sustainability challenges and its business activities as a commercial bank. In the broad review WestLB presents answers, for example as to strategy, goals, products and risk management. Special focus is given to global climate change, which is particularly relevant for society and business alike.

The consistent development of WestLB’s sustainability management underlines WestLB’s goal to be among the leading companies in the area of sustainability. Sustainability management is thus an integrated part of group strategy, as documented in the Sustainability Report 2007.
