Rabobank Group is a full-range financial services provider based in the Netherlands. It is founded on cooperative principles and as such owned by its members. The bank offers the full range of services to consumers, private clients and business but its origin as a rural cooperative bank still reflects today in the bank being a global leader in food and agri financing and in sustainability-oriented banking.
The performance of Rabobank Group's clients is assessed
according to ten key aspects of corporate social responsibility: corruption
and/or bribery, poor labour conditions, forced labour, child labour,
discrimination, pollution, depletion of scarce natural resources, cruelty to
animals, poor treatment of indigenous peoples, and products/services that
impose health or safety risk to consumers. "The assessment is carried out as
standard practice in accordance with the Credit
Risk Management (CRM) Credit Manual and is intended to generate material
information required for the ultimate credit assessment." As details of the CRM
Credit Manual are not disclosed we can only reward the specific policies
published at the relevant sectors and issues.
