Business practices

Our responsible business practices have a direct, positive impact on two areas critical to our growth: our strength and stability as a global financial institution; and our capacity to meet the financial needs of our clients in all phases of their lives.

We want to be a company that people want to do business with. Throughout our eight lines of business, we look for ways to better serve our clients’ needs in a way that upholds the highest ethical standards. We know our clients expect exceptional experiences however they choose to interact with us, and we invest in our people to help us best deliver for those we serve.
