Rabobank Group has just published its Sustainability Report 2005, available here .

The online report allows searching by keyword and direct navigation to pages within the annual report. A summary includes a short description of all chapters, with links to pdfs both of individual chapters and of the complete report. Additional Case Studies of relevance to the report are also provided.

The Rabobank Group has provided reports on its accountability for over a century, and this accountability forms an integral part of a co-operative bank’s operating procedure. While the topics change continually, the principle of accountability is interwoven with Rabobank Group’s structure and culture. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is consequently a guiding principle within the organisation.

Rabobank Group’s internal code of conduct is designed to ensure that Corporate Social Responsibility becomes a way of thinking. The policy has now proven its merits in practice. Rabobank Group earned the title of the most sustainable bank in Europe and the second most sustainable bank worldwide in both 2003 and 2005.
