Actions informed by our mission
Everyone needs food and energy. But the way we produce food and use energy needs to change. That is why we support our clients with advice, knowledge, and financing. We are making our own offices more sustainable too. For example, we are adding insulation, installing LED lighting, smart meters, and heating units that have less impact on the environment.
Sustainable Food System
Producing enough healthy and affordable food is a complex challenge. As a bank with its roots in the food & agri sector, we believe that food should be produced with respect for people, animals, and the environment.
There’s no single solution to tackle this problem and there are still many problems to solve. That is why we focus on the entire value chain: from farm to fork and from smallholder farmers to multinationals. This is our way of contributing to affordable, available, and accessible food supplies and helping to feed the world more sustainably.
Sustainable Energy System
Climate change is one of the greatest threats our planet faces. We as a society must act to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5⁰C. Rabobank shares this responsibility. We are committed to operatingin accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement.
Once again, there’s no single solution to this problem. That’s why we focus on the entire energy system: from infrastructure to everyday use, from production to reducing consumption. For example, we invest in sustainable energy projects and help businesses transition to sustainable sources of power. We also advise clients about how they can save on energy costs in their homes and businesses.
