Measuring Our Performance

ATB’s commitment to the well-being of Alberta begins with holding ourselves accountable for our impacts, both positive and negative, inside our organization and externally. We must communicate our performance transparently, quantitatively and in a way that our stakeholders will understand.

In this year’s sustainability section of our annual report, we have provided a consolidated view of our overall performance spanning the various environmental, social and governance topics that have been identified as important to our stakeholders and to our business.

There continue to be significant changes that are shaping the sustainability reporting landscape and influencing which metrics organizations use to report on their impacts. We are evaluating these changes and will continue to evolve our approach to effectively and meaningfully communicate our performance on the topics that matter most to our stakeholders.



Client Obsession

Client Obsessed Index (COI)1 2 n/a 60% 58% 59% To better influence client perceptions (COI), we are establishing operational metrics (op metrics) in three CX categories: Personal Service, Product and Digital. The intent of these op metrics is to closely monitor processes that have a critical impact on the client experience.

ATB Wealth Six Commitments Score n/a n/a 66 67 Our focus on building a planning-oriented offering, supporting wealth transfer for Albertans while increasing digital presence and use will help us connect with our clients and improve the value they receive from their ATB Wealth relationships.
Substantiated reports of privacy infringement 213 197 155 0 ATB’s privacy team continues to work with key stakeholders to monitor trends and make suitable recommendations to reduce the number of complaints and breaches received across the organization.

1ATB started measuring COI in FY2021 and it is calculated as a percentage using survey results from ATB clients in four key areas: recommend, defend, value and effort.

2 The drop in COI was driven by a decline in customers’ defend, value and recommend ratings. Although effort ratings were stable over FY2022, they remain substantially lower than the other COI dimensions.

3 ATB started measuring COV in FY2021 and it is calculated as COV ($) = ETR ($) x COI (%).

4 FY2022 COV growth was driven entirely by economic total revenue (ETR), the value generated by clients.

Range of ratios of standard entry-level wages compared to local minimum wage at significant locations of operation2 1.063:1 1.063:1 1.074:1 1.087:1 Continue to keep entry-level wages above minimum wage and in line with other similar jobs in the market.

1 A substantial drop in CHI occurred during FY2022. While the three dimensions of CHI (adapting, thriving and performing) dropped, most team members continued to score highly in one or two dimensions. Team members also continued to cope with the stressors of the pandemic, and benchmarking organizations have reported similar results in 2021.

2 Entry-level wages are set via our union agreement, which states that our entry-level wage will increase again in January 2023. Target assumes the Alberta minimum wage remains stable.

Junior ATB4 84 schools 61 schools 93 schools 110 schools Focus on growing the number of schools participating and further expanding Junior ATB’s presence in rural markets.

1 During FY2022, ATB introduced its new team member giving platform, Uplift. Due to a change in the payroll giving process, there is the appearance of a significant decline during FY2022; however, if the process had remained unchanged, a result consistent to FY2021 would have been achieved.

2 Many external giving programs, as supported by aggregated data from our platform partner, Benevity, saw a similar trend in declining donations during FY2022 compared to FY2021. Recent program changes also saw a significant decline in donations to religious organizations based on ATB Cares donation matching criteria.

3 Events continued to see cancellations due to the continuation of public health measures during FY2022.

4 ATB was able to achieve this result safely through a fully virtual format of Junior ATB.
