Social Commitment
As a bank with cooperative roots, society and local communities are close to our hearts. Our mission is to create value for the society and local communities in which we operate, contributing to the social development of the region and promoting an inclusive society. In China, our social commitment focuses on two key themes: Sustainable food & education for Children.
Growing With You – The Rabobank China Hope School in Yunnan Province
The Rabobank China Hope School is located in Yunlong County, western part of Yunnan Province over 500 kilometres from Kunming. It is our first hope school in China. In 2008 a new three-story classroom building sponsored by Rabobank Shanghai Branch was put into use and the school was named ‘Yunlong Rabobank Hope School’. Since then continuous efforts from the bank and staff have been made to improve the learning and living facilities of the students. Apart from the annual donation of stationary and books, we helped build the computer room, the dormitory, and the student canteen.
'Growing With You' - The Rabobank China Hope School story is a fourteen-year growth story, and our testament to the Bank’s cooperative values by helping children in the remote area of Yunnan Province get access to quality education. This project is part of our cooperative strategy at Rabobank China and clearly shows us living our mission of Growing a Better World Together. This story continues as we move on.
