As a financial institution HVB is very much part of society and benefits from its environment in various ways, for example, on account of a working infrastructure or high educational standards. Our obligation to contribute to the good of society is founded on these benefits. In the following document, we would like to explain how our social and ecological involvement adds value to the community in which we operate. Our multi-faceted cultural involvement is portrayed in the section "Experience Culture". It gives you details of the Hypo Art Gallery, protection of listed buildings and ancient monuments, our art collection and our collection of bank notes.
