Rabobank in business

Over the past decade Rabobank has paid a great deal of attention to the issue of responsible corporate governance. The Rabobank Group has closely followed the global debate on this subject and accordingly implemented measures that optimise its own system of governance.

Financial institutions such as the Rabobank Group have been familiar for years with the latest principles of governance.  After all, the financial sector has always been subject to strict regulation because of its social and economic role.  Given its firm roots in Dutch society and its prominence in international capital markets, the Rabobank Group endorses the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.  However, the Rabobank Group is not directly subject to this code, as its structure is based on cooperative principles and it is not listed on the stock exchange.  Nevertheless, it willingly applies the majority of the code's elements.
