OUR CULTURE AND VALUES

Our values

At HypoVereinsbank, we act along three values: Integrity, Ownership and Caring.

We place these values at the center of all our decisions and are guided by them as a team and as a trustworthy partner for our customers, investors, and stakeholders.

Our culture

Our values are more than just words – they are a common belief, that unites us and guides us in our actions. With this we are able to achieve our purpose „Empowering Communities to Progress“.
A successful future can only be shaped with the right culture. In this regard, our values guide us – on both large and small scales.

We act in the best interest of our customers. We are honest, straightforward, and transparent. We do the right thing - even when no one is watching.

We deliver on our promises and take accountability for our actions and commitments. We are empowered to make decisions and learn from failure. We speak up – to express an idea, an opinion or when we see something wrong.

Together, we care for our customers, society, and each other. We treat each other with respect, show consideration for each other and are eager to help each other to thrive.

Our purpose

As a part of the UniCredit Group, HypoVereinsbank is committed to promote the potential of its employees and motivating them to strive for excellence. With our customers, shareholders, communities, and employees in mind, we share a common purpose:
Empowering Communities to Progress.

Our employees

Our culture is shaped daily by all our employees. Moreover, we have established specific roles and networks at HypoVereinsbank to drive the topic forward:

A white lighthouse stands on rocks by the water against a pink-purple sky. — The Code of Conduct contains the principles to which all employees and external partners of the bank must adhere to ensure high standards and absolute integrity for all activities within and on behalf of UniCredit.

The Code of Conduct is not nice-to-have, but a crucial tool for UniCredit’s success. Due to its anchoring in our business activities, we can ensure that we stay on the chosen path: a path to achieving our goals and to success.
