Rabobank in business

Over the past years, Rabobank Group has paid a great deal of attention to its corporate governance. The desire for optimum implementation of corporate governance within Rabobank Group naturally implies that it closely follows the global debate on this subject. As it is, financial institutions such as Rabobank Group have been familiar for years with many of the latest governance principles. 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 the international capital markets, Rabobank Group endorses the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. However, 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 will apply the majority of the code's elements.
