"We for the region."

Our responsibility – we for others

Corporate responsibility (CR) is based on the concept that enterprises should not only focus on growth and profitability, but should also take responsibility for the environment and their social setting. This comprises the voluntary social, ecological and economic contributions of an enterprise that go beyond the compliance with statutory regulations.

The CR programme of Fondsdepot Bank rests on three pillars:

Employees

All employees of Fondsdepot Bank are called upon to use their potential in CR activities and to voluntarily participate in health, security, social or environmental campaigns. The employees are requested to take on responsibility towards their colleagues and others, the company, the environment and society in general. The CR programme of Fondsdepot Bank depends on the personal initiative that employees demonstrate by introducing their campaign ideas and actively supporting campaigns. The managers of Fondsdepot Bank in particular are called upon to encourage their employees to take part in CR activities and to set an example themselves. All CR activities are characterised by the use of employees' helping hands.

Environmental commitment

Environmental protection and eco-friendly equipment of Fondsdepot Bank are top priorities on the CR agenda. Fondsdepot Bank endeavours to identify negative environmental factors and to create initiatives in order to promote recycling and reduce the consumption of material and energy. The objective is to push ahead environmental initiatives under the umbrella of CR in order to further reduce negative impact on the environment.

Social commitment

CR supports and promotes social commitment. Fondsdepot Bank wants to establish long-standing, sustainable relationships with local and regional charitable institutions, organisations and projects, especially with regard to projects involving children, youths and education. The CR approach of Fondsdepot Bank focuses especially but not exclusively on children and youths in need of assistance in order to support and promote their development and to give them social perspectives. The CR approach goes far beyond mere donations in cash and in kind. Most importantly, Fondsdepot Bank leverages the personal commitment of its employees.

Our commitment

Fondsdepot Bank makes sure that its words about CR are followed by deeds. Thanks to the great commitment of our employees, we were able to roll out several charitable campaigns in the course of the last years.
