Even though the number of physical branch offices is falling, we are still very much part of the local communities where we have our roots and which we serve. This allows us to make a real contribution to maintaining the vitality of local communities - even when this comes under pressure. Achieving responsible consumption in a circular economy (SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production) is key to the transition which we urgently need to bring about in the face of a growing world population. This goes to the very core of our customer service with knowledge and funding. Entrepreneurs are seizing this transition to invest in circular business models. 310 Rabobank Jaarverslag 2016
