Profile & values
Rabobank Group is a full-range financial services provider that operates on cooperative principles. Its origins lie in the local loan cooperatives that were founded in the Netherlands nearly 110 years ago by enterprising people who had virtually no access to the capital market.
Keypoints
One of Rabobank's core objectives is to create the highest possible customer value. Customer value is reflected in the degree of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Rabobank is critical of itself and is keen to learn from clients what it does well and what could be improved.
Strategy
Sustained autonomous growth is a leading factor in the strategic course that Rabobank Group aims to steer in the coming years. This strategy centres around our core competence: Food & Agribusiness.
History
Rabobank's roots lie in agriculture. In 1898 two separate cooperative banks - the Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Bank in Utrecht and the Coöperatieve Centrale Boerenleenbank in Eindhoven - were founded by enterprising rural folk, who, with little access to the capital market, decided to help one another.
Management
Rabobank is governed by two complementary yet independent boards: the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board.
Organisation
Rabobank’s all-finance approach to banking is reflected in our organisational structure.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We assist business owners by discussing opportunities and risks in the economic, social and environmental field at an early stage. Our organisation also provides support by stimulating innovations in areas including cleantech, sustainable energy and the environment. We furthermore offer products and services that contribute to the sustainable development of wealth and welfare for our clients and society. These activities make Rabobank one of the top three most sustainable banks worldwide.
Sponsoring
Rabobank is the largest sponsor of sport and culture in the Netherlands. Rabobank has selected three branches of sport to focus its sponsorship activities on: cycling, equestrian sports and hockey. Cultural sponsorship provides excellent opportunities for demonstrating Rabobank’s versatility and social involvement.
