Survey of the
banks about the
sustainability
themes
For the collection of the qualitative and quan-
titative data we used public and independent
sources.as much as possible. For a large num-
ber of themes that are very relevant for the
sector, public sources are not available, how-
ever. We chose therefore to subject a repre-
sentative sample of the Febelfin members to
a very detailed survey. 19 credit institutions
and financial groups, all members of Febelfin,
participated in the survey held in May 2012.
Together they make up more than 90% of the
financial activities in Belgium, measured in
terms of the size of the balance sheet.
The survey, which contained more than
90
questions, was discussed with the stake-
holders beforehand to ensure correct and rel-
evant questions.
The following 19 institutions filled in the
survey:
Argenta
AXA
Bank Delen & De Schaetzen
Bank J. Van Breda & C°
Banque CPH
Belfius
BNP Paribas Fortis
