Rabobank Group

29-6-2009 | CSR news

One of the cornerstones of the Rabobank Group strategy is a high-quality policy for corporate social responsibility. Within this scope, we have continued to develop our CSR activities and financial services in 2008.

In 2008, we  took the  initiative to define Food & Agribusiness Principles which illustrate how Rabobank Group goes about its business in the international food & agri market. The principles address issues such as:

• Adequate and safe food production
• Sustainable use of natural resources
• A responsible society where public welfare is key
• Ethical treatment of animals
• Awareness among consumers and citizens.   

The Food & Agribusiness Principles are a natural progression from our deep commitment to clients operating in agriculture, horticulture and cattle-farming. We have also drafted policies for several CSR-sensitive sectors which help us take a socially responsible approach to the potential impact of our funding.
