Independent publication of the Sustainability Report
Accordingly, SeABank 's Sustainable Development Report is prepared in compliance with Circular 96/2020/TT-BTC dated November 16, 2020 on guidelines for information disclosure on the stock market, referring to international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)'s guidelines for preparing Sustainable Development Reports, and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. This is an independently published publication and officially published on SeABank's website.
The 2024 Sustainable Development Report is consistent with SeABank's 2024 message - "Choose your Fighter, Be a Legend!". Facing the volatile context of 2024, the message expresses the spirit of a passionate warrior, ready to move forward to seize opportunities and overcome challenges. SeABank's efforts are not only for today's success but also towards creating legendary legacies, towards a green, happy and prosperous future.
After many years of integrating environmental - social and governance reports into the Annual Report, the publication of the Independent Sustainable Development Report is implemented by SeABank to clearly and systematically present the orientations, goals, results and sustainability plans at the Bank. This is a step forward to make information transparent and ensure the rights of stakeholders, closely following the planning orientation and vision of a responsible Bank.
At SeABank, sustainable development is not an option, but a core mission and guideline for all activities. “ The Bank is committed to building a comprehensive and sustainable financial ecosystem, ensuring practical and sustainable values for stakeholders, while contributing to the prosperous development of future generations ” – Mr. Le Van Tan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SeABank shared about the sustainable vision in the message of the Report.
Sustainable commitment with ESG focus
Throughout its journey of more than 30 years of service and connection, SeABank has consistently pursued sustainable growth associated with the prosperity and happiness of the community and the sustainability of the environment. The Bank continues to implement sustainability goals in a specific and strategic manner, integrating them into all business and operational activities with a focus on the three ESG pillars, which are presented transparently in the 2024 Sustainable Development Report.
Identifying Governance as a core factor for comprehensive sustainable development, SeABank has continuously improved its capacity for Bank Governance, Risk Management, and optimized its governance model according to Vietnamese standards and international practices. Thanks to that, the Bank has been continuously maintained by Moody's with a Ba3 rating for many categories with a stable development outlook. As of the time of the report, SeABank has successfully mobilized nearly 1 billion USD (including trade finance) from prestigious international partners such as DFC, IFC, AIIB, Norfund... to support small and medium enterprises, promote green credit and combat climate change.
A solid governance foundation and international investment sources help the Bank have more resources for green and sustainable growth, focusing on promoting climate finance and inclusive finance. The report clearly states SeABank's goals and plans to "green" the portfolio and direct capital flows into environmentally friendly fields, while reducing the "brown factor" in the portfolio through the Environmental and Social Risk Management System (ESMS). In 2024, SeABank will issue the first blue bond in Vietnam and the first green bond by a private commercial joint stock bank with a total value of 150 million USD, expanding capital sources for sustainable projects.
Putting people at the center of development, SeABank provides diverse financial products and services, "tailored" to the needs, accompanying the success of nearly 4 million individual and corporate customers. In particular, the Bank provides optimal support for female customers, business households, small and medium enterprises, female-owned enterprises... to create equal development opportunities and promote comprehensive finance.
For employees, SeABank builds a humane and professional working environment where each individual is respected, empowered and maximizes their potential. Employees participate in capacity development training programs, enjoy competitive salary and bonus policies such as: Comprehensive health care insurance (SeACare), preferential loans for employees (SeAStaff Privilege), issuance of shares to employees (SeAESOP)... SeABank also focuses on organizational culture with many gratitude and engagement programs for employees and their families.
The value of love is nurtured internally by SeABank, spreading to the community through practical social security activities, aiming at the goal of building a happy community as specifically presented in the 2024 Sustainable Development Report. The activities are mainly implemented through 4 internal charity funds with a total value of nearly 24 billion VND, covering many of the United Nations' SDGs such as: poverty eradication, good health and life, quality education ...
Adhering to a sustainable strategy with a focus on ESG, SeABank will continue to comprehensively strengthen its governance, technology, customer, human resources and organizational culture platforms. This helps ensure sustainable business operations, in harmony with the interests of the community and the sustainability of the environment.
