What are we doing to build a sustainable business?
We’re all working hard to make RBS a business we can be proud of once again. We want to build a sustainable business – that means making sure we meet high standards of environmental, social and ethical responsibility. Sustainability matters to our customers, and it matters to our people, because we all want to be part of a responsible Group that does the right things in the right way.
One example of our sustainable approach is our commitment to supporting enterprise in the countries we operate in. In India, we are working with microfinance partners to help people start their own venture, by providing small loans which have a huge impact. For instance, a loan of just £50 is enough for a family to buy some chickens and a coop. This can transform lives, and help provide a sustainable income through providing food and produce to sell.
