Responsibility

We are a major economic force within Austria and many countries in which we have a presence. We value sustainable corporate governance and the attendant social responsibility that goes with it. Our role in the economy is characterised by practical responsibility towards our customers, employees, shareholders and society.

Our culture

Sustainability and corporate responsibility are key components of our identity and lived part of the corporate culture. Targeted aim as a company is to act responsible extending beyond individual measures. The sustainability management is responsible for the strategic and organizational planning and implementation of all sustainable relevant initiatives. This includes the fields of "economy/core business", "ecology", "human resources" and "social commitment" for RBI and the network banks in CEE.
