Our strategic guidelines
We will fulfil our mandate by realising our vision, within the framework provided by our strategic guidelines:
I. Developing a collaborative organisational culture
The organisational culture is a reflection of our joint commitment to professionalism, responsibility and transparency in work. We are endeavouring to develop a collaborative culture, through coordinated actions, attention to joint strategic objectives, and openness to dialogue. Our actions in the domestic environment, and the working bodies of the EU, the Eurosystem and the ESCB will be based on clear positions, the building of our profile, and the consistent pursuit of a networking role.
II. Helping our employees to grow and progress
Skilled and motivated employees are the key to our continuing development, and to the attainment of our strategic objectives. To ensure that our employees are well-connected, flexible and result-focused, we will facilitate their development in line with our business objectives. There will be a particular focus on securing and training key experts and leaders, and on their professional, personal and career development. We will continue to ensure a stable, encouraging, healthy and family-friendly working environment.
III. Working efficiently and effectively
We will continue to pursue our activities aimed at ensuring effectiveness from a developmental, organisational and cost perspective. We will manage resources carefully, seek out optimal solutions, even when rectifying deficiencies, and respond to changing circumstances by adjusting our own actions. We will continue to optimise business processes and upgrade key performance indicators for these processes.
We will undertake critical reviews of our work structures and performance from an efficiency perspective. We will strengthen our internal debate, and our ability to predict and respond to future challenges.
IV. Co-creating the digital environment
Advances in digitalisation are changing the structure of the economy and the behaviour of economic stakeholders. These changes are also having a major impact on the financial sector. In this area we act as a steerer of change and a supervisor, with the aim of ensuring financial stability and security for users of digital services.
The digitalisation of our own operations encompasses cyber resilience, effective and safe work with documents, and the optimisation of work processes. We will continue introducing advanced data processing tools, and sophisticated data analysis methods.
V. Focusing on sustainability and social responsibility
We will demonstrate our focus on sustainability and social responsibility through activities aimed at benefiting the three fundamental aspects of sustainability: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
Within our mandate we will help to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement. We will actively collaborate in the development and implementation of supervisory methodologies and practices for climate and environmental risks. We will monitor the impact on macroeconomic trends from climate change and the measures to address it. We will promote the integration of climate and environmental risks into risk management frameworks and decision-making processes through dialogue with credit institutions. We will strengthen the skills of our employees in addressing the impact of climate change. We will also take account of sustainability targets in managing our own financial assets and reducing our carbon footprint.
