2 Analyst Opinion Anja Löffler Sector specialist Sustainability Opportunities Bayerische Landesbank (BayernLB) offers financial products and services to corporate and institutional clients, real estate clients, public sector clients, and private clients. The company and its subsidiaries provide a comparably wide range of financial programs with a sustainable benefit. This includes, amongst others, programmes for the health and education sector, for public infrastructure with an environmental or social value, for the social sector or for social housing purposes. From an environmental point of view, BayernLB is engaged in the financing of renewable energy projects and in the provision of green loans promoting energy-efficiency, amongst others. In addition, the company enables clients to invest in a socially responsible manner, by offering relevant investment products that apply a comprehensive exclusion screening as well as a best-in class approach. However, the aforementioned products and services do not constitute the main business of the company. Sustainability Risks For a financial company with significant activities in the area of international project finance and investment banking, it is crucial to properly address related risks. BayernLB excludes several controversial practices (e.g. controversial weapons) from its entire business operations. In its asset management business, the company additionally excludes investments in soft commodities and has requirements with regard to gold trading, which is comparably innovative for the industry. The company adequately manages its credit risks as it integrates social and environmental criteria in its lending decisions. This includes the exclusion of sector-specific practices such as mountain top removal, illegal logging or uranium mining. BayernLB also applies relevant social and environmental guidelines such as the standards of the World Bank Group, although, these standards do not apply to the entire loan portfolio. The company has taken relatively good steps to ensure responsible treatment of clients in areas such as responsible marketing, tax compliance of clients, or responsible treatment of clients with payment difficulties. BayernLB further shows an above-average performance with regard to the management of employee-related risks. The company has implemented restructuring processes in the past years; however, there are measures in place to ensure responsible redundancy processes for all affected employees. Finally, business ethics risks are well managed through the implementation of a code of conduct supported by relevant compliance measures, such as adequate reporting channels and comprehensive compliance training. Yet, it was alleged that the company's former subsidiary MKB Bank was involved in the 'Russian Laundromat' money laundering scandal in the past. Governance Opinion BayernLB is owned by the Free State of Bavaria (75%) and the Association of Bavarian Savings Banks (25%) (as at 25 January 2018). Although separate persons hold the positions of CEO and chair of the supervisory board, the independence of company s chair is limited, as he was previously the CEO of the company. At least half of the members of the supervisory board as well as relevant board committees (audit, remuneration, nomination) can be considered independent. A comparable board committee dealing with sustainability issues is missing. Moreover, BayernLB discloses its remuneration policy for executives. Yet, apparently the policy does not include important elements for sustainable value creation such as long-term incentive components and ESG targets. Finally, business ethics risks appear to be comparably well managed through the implementation of a code of conduct covering almost all important compliance aspects (including corruption). The code is supported by relevant compliance measures, such as adequate reporting channels, compliance risk assessments and audits, and comprehensive compliance training. Yet, it was alleged that the company's former subsidiary MKB Bank was involved in the 'Russian Laundromat' money laundering scandal in the past. oekom Corporate / Last Modification: Page 2 of 48 oekom research AG
