Our Corporate Governance and Business Ethics describes the code of conduct for the management and supervision of OeKB CSD. It is chiefly determined by the regulations laid down by the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR).
OeKB CSD GmbH is a limited liability company (GmbH) and is a 100% subsidiary of Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Aktiengesellschaft (OeKB).
It is operated by two Managing Directors, who are jointly responsible for the business. Its bodies are the Management Board, the General Meeting and the Supervisory Board, which sets up committees in the fields of risk, remuneration and audit. The Management Board reports to the Supervisory Board on a regular basis, and the Management Board and the Supervisory Board report to the General Meeting.

In line with its mission and in compliance with the objectives of the regulatory requirements, OeKB CSD has implemented a comprehensive risk management system and avoids classic banking risks such as counterparty/market and liquidity risks. It achieves this by designing its services and business processes accordingly (e.g. no overdraft on cash accounts, no lending, no acceptance of deposits) and by adhering to its restrictive Investment Guideline. OeKB CSD manages operational risks in line with the comprehensive and strict requirements of the CSDR.
The risk management principles and the corresponding control framework are laid down in OeKB CSD's risk policy and risk strategy. To concretize and manage the very low risk acceptance levels, OeKB CSD has defined Key Risk Indicators (KRI) with corresponding thresholds for the risks assessed and documented in the Risk Map. These are monitored on a quarterly basis.
Operational risks from OeKB CSD participants in the SSS are mitigated, among other things, by connection tests for new customers or in case of significant system changes related to the CSD business at OeKB CSD or the securities account holders. These tests check whether the IT systems and employees of the securities account holders can ensure proper processing of transactions at OeKB CSD.

Sustainability Management is more than compliance with legal regulations, provisions and laws. The key principle is the moral and social responsibility which the organisation observes of its own volition. Essential characteristics are the continuous further development of the underlying principles and the voluntary compliance with said principles.
Sustainability Management is more than environmental protection. The 17 goals for sustainable development are political objectives of the United Nations (UN Sustainable Development Goals; UN-SDGs), which are intended to ensure sustainable development at the economic, social and ecological level worldwide. For the framework of action of OeKB CSD, we have highlighted the following terms that define the relevant, formable thematic fields for us:
As an Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) certified company Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Aktiengesellschaft (OeKB) has committed itself to take into consideration the consumption of resources, climate protection and social development with regard to its core business and its operation and to consistently pursue annual improvement goals.
OeKB CSD GmbH (OeKB CSD) as 100% subsidiary of OeKB is integrated in the sustainability management system of OeKB and has documented its measures in the Report of the OeKB Group.

OeKB CSD’s success is based on its high reputation and the trust our clients and stakeholders put in us. This is determined by the high standards we apply to our work when we tend to our clients’ needs and deliver our services.
The Code of Conduct equally addresses the Management Board and employees and lays down obligatory rules of conduct with regard to supervision, whistle-blowing, complaints processing and the prevention of corruption, money laundering and conflicts of interest.
The Code of Conduct not only sets out the standards we expect of ourselves, but also those we expect of others. We therefore refrain from doing business that violates the Code of Conduct and welcome it when our stakeholders act according to comparable rules.
