Cooperative dividend
Rabobank's social engagement and 'corporate citizenship', as it is called, are reflected in the
cooperative dividend that is returned to society each year from the profits of the local
Rabobanks. Cooperative dividend comprises money and efforts for the improvement of the
economic, social and cultural environment, including sustainability initiatives. A growing
number of local Rabobanks translate their cooperative dividend into systems that include
cooperative funds and regional sustainability funds. Members influence the allocation of
these funds.
