ING Wholesale Banking (WB) is the commercial banking business of ING Bank N.V. Using a forward-looking financing approach that incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations, ING WB provides banking services for large, multinational corporate clients, banks, insurance companies and other institutional investors.
With the opportunity to support sustainability efforts among its clients, as well as sustain its own business and portfolio, ING WB examined ways to expand the incorporation of ESG factors into its processes and select sustainability outperformers. This has resulted in a portfolio of EUR 34 billion, as of the end of 2016.
