John Daamen, Manager Sustainability Standards

Group Sustainability brings talented people together to contribute to a more sustainable world and at the same time to deliver on our sustainable goals and ambitions, based on regulations, commitments our policies and ambitions. We act as a center of expertise, advising on a variety of sustainability topics and accelerating the implementation of sustainability on an ongoing basis.

Your role would be part of the new Sustainability Standards team, to ensure the guidance from strategy, expertise, regulations and commitments is executed in sustainability standards, risk and business processes including the product governance. Going forward sustainability requirements need to increasingly become part of Business as Usual. This requires that Group Sustainability has a clear perspective what Rabobank defines as sustainable and how to steer towards this. Defining and ensuring we adhere to this will be done from different angles (i) What is our strategy: based on our aspirations, what transitions do want to achieve with our clients and in our portfolio (ii) What are our own minimal acceptance criteria: what do we deem sustainable (morally and voluntarily) and fits in our (future) portfolio (iii) What are the commitments we have made and will make to the outside world and (iv) What regulations and commitments do we have to comply with.

All the above defines the sustainability playing field and has to be embedded in the standard way of operating to ensure they are part of our client journey, product review and approval, our reporting and the strategic discussion/decisions at business level. The guiding principle here is that Group Sustainability cooperates and aligns with existing projects, programs, processes (eg. CreditCore) to ensure that criteria from our standards and ambitions become part of the Business As Usual (BAU).
