Shaping solutions for today’s challenges
As a cooperative bank, we aim to contribute to solutions that truly make a difference, today and for generations to come. We support clients in achieving their ambitions and strengthening their resilience.
Building toward a financially inclusive society
More and more people need access to affordable housing, healthcare, food and clean energy. Businesses need more sustainable and resilient models. At the same time, challenges like social inequality, economic uncertainty, climate change, and biodiversity loss affect us all. These issues demand collaboration and resilience.
Creating financial opportunities
Everyone should be able to participate fully in society. Access to the financial system is essential for that. Rabobank works to remove barriers and support people at every stage of life with financial health, clear and accessible services and a fair chance on the housing market. We help young people take control over their finances and find the right home. And we are driving solutions to make sustainability more affordable, so more people can benefit from lower energy costs and a healthier living environment. By partnering with local financial institutions, we aim to expand financial access for Food and Agri sector and rural communities in emerging markets.
Stability when it matters most
Economic uncertainty and disruption seem to be the new normal. That calls for resilience, the ability to absorb shocks and adapt in a changing world. Rabobank strives to be a stable force in an unstable world. That’s why we actively invest in the resilience of our customers, society and our own organization. We strengthen digital sovereignty, offer colleagues the opportunity to contribute as reservists and organize workshops on resilience.
Driving sustainable working and living
Living and working more sustainably is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As a cooperative bank, we recognize this need and want to contribute to driving solutions that increase positive impact and reduce negative impact. For us, this means we act on climate, value nature, and enable people to future-proof their activities, homes, and businesses. We believe sustainable living and working should be affordable, available and accessible. That’s what we strive for.
From farm to fork: building a more sustainable food system
Our customers in Food & Agri face major challenges: producing more sustainably, using water and resources efficiently, restoring nature and at the same time providing enough food for a growing population. That’s why we invest in solutions like precision farming, sustainable supply chains and reducing food waste. We work closely with partners, governments and other financiers to drive innovations that make food production and consumption more sustainable, from farm to fork. Step by step, we are helping create a food system where nature and agriculture are in balance and healthy food becomes affordable, available, and accessible to more people.
Our focus: what we aim for globally
Driving the energy transition together
Rabobank has been financing sustainable energy projects for over 20 years, such as wind farms, solar energy and district heating networks. We help homeowners make their homes more energy-efficient, support businesses in saving energy and invest in innovations like battery storage and green hydrogen. Step by step, we are helping to create an energy system where energy savings are central, fossil fuels are replaced and clean energy becomes affordable, available and accessible to more people.
