Rabobank Group

We regularly discuss social trends and issues with our stakeholders. This helps our employees to make responsible choices vis-à-vis our services.

We employ different approaches to this dialogue:

• Engaging in stakeholder consultations with approximately twenty diverse stakeholders from social organisations and associations, politics, science and the business community 
• Actively participating in sector-wide consultations such as the Round Table on Responsible Soy and the Round Table on Sustainable Palmoil, Better Cotton Initiative, Better Sugar Initiative and the Round Table on Sustainable Biofuels 
• Organising discussions with the key stakeholders regarding a specific CSR issue. This can take place at our request or at the request of the related stakeholder. 
• Conducting consultations with the government and making policy proposals concerning social and socio-economic and financial topics in the interest of the customers and members of Rabobank.     

Stakeholders of the Rabobank Group
Members and customers are important to us. Our members have influence over our policy. Other key stakeholders are special interest organisations, social organisations and government agencies and, of course, our own employees. This involves, for example, well-respected social organisations that focus on social and environmental issues. These organisations also have a large number of members and supporters and a well-founded opinion on the policy, services and activities of the Rabobank Group.
