Sustainability
Sustainability is integrated into all of Rabobank’s business operations
What we focus on
As a meaningful cooperative we are committed to driving positive change and contributing to sustainable economies and societies. We aim to embed sustainability in everything we do. To us that means we act on climate, value nature and enable people.
Our focus: accelerating the food and energy transitions
Everyone needs food and energy. Right now, our food and energy systems strongly impact the planet. We want to help accelerate the changes needed to make these systems more sustainable. Therefore, we support our customers to future-proof their business and move the system in a more sustainable direction. Our goal is to make sustainably produced food and energy the norm - affordable, available, and accessible for everyone.
A more sustainable food system
Our customers are challenged to change their agricultural practices, improve their financial structures, invest in new technology and innovations to reduce emissions and become more climate-resilient, while boosting their food productivity. We support them to transition to a more sustainable future.
A more sustainable energy system
Balancing the need for energy with the desire to reduce carbon footprints is a common challenge of our customers. We support them in moving to renewable energy by investing in new ways of generating and consuming energy.
