贵公司如何治理人权有关问题？
In 2014, we established a new Global CSR Committee reporting to the CEO. The Committee provides a forum for dialogue around emerging CSR issues, including concerns raised by advocates, regulators and influencers. Having the Committee reporting to the CEO ensures that CSR continues to be integrated into our core business decisions and that CSR-related issues are considered and debated at the highest levels within our company, including the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Made up of senior leaders from business and support groups across the company, our Global Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer chairs the Global CSR Committee and serves as its liaison to the Board. The Committee will meet quarterly and report out at least annually to the Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors. The Committee’s membership includes representatives from the company’s business and operations.
Two subcommittees have been established: The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) Subcommittee oversees the Company’s lending, investment and service activities to low- and moderate-income individuals and areas, and the Company’s CRA initiatives, goals, performance, and regulatory evaluations and ratings.
The Global Environmental Operations subcommittee oversees the Company’s environmental operational goals and is responsible for developing strategy and implementing initiatives to ensure successful achievement of these goals. The CSR Committee will be an integration point for various internal working groups with responsibility for environmental and social issues. Those groups will report to the Committee. Examples of these working groups are the new Global Environmental Operations Group, the Low-Carbon Banking Group, and the GWIM Environmental/Social/Governance Council.
