About ABN AMRO
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is a Dutch state-owned bank with headquarters in Amsterdam. Its origins date back to 1824. It was re-established, in its current form, in 2009 following the acquisition and break up of ABN AMRO Group by a banking consortium consisting of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Santander and Fortis. ABN AMRO serves retail, private and commercial banking customers in the Netherlands and to a lesser extent in other markets, where it prioritises serving Dutch companies doing business abroad. It is also active internationally in areas where it claims to have substantial expertise, such as Energy, Commodities & Transportation (ECT) and ABN AMRO Clearing. Its private banking activities are focused on the Netherlands, Europe and Asia.

-
None (0), weak exclusion (2), strong exclusion (4)
3) The bank’s commitment to phase-out financing for tar sands.
-
None (0), reduction (1.5), weak phase-out (3), strong phase-out (5)
4) The bank’s commitment to exclude companies active in tar sands above a certain threshold.
-
None (0), enhanced due diligence (0.5), weak exclusion threshold (2), moderate exclusion threshold (4), strong exclusion threshold (5), full exclusion (6)
