Our convictions
Now is the time to redefine the way we measure success.
Our aim is to have a positive economic, social, environmental and cultural impact in the long run. We understand that to do so, our role as a business needs to evolve and that we have a key role to play in creating prosperity for our communities.
As Mauritius’ longest-standing financial institution, our aim is to help people and communities thrive today and tomorrow. Our corporate sustainability framework, Success Beyond Numbers, is built around investing in three pillars:
The more diversified an economy is, the more it will be able to respond to crises. The Lokal Rebound study highlights the ways in which we could diversify Mauritius’ production fabric to cater for local needs and to ensure prosperity over time.
We have asked ourselves how we could reconcile the fight against climate change and local economic development. As a first step, we have sponsored the Klima Neutral 2050 study.
We believe in finding ways to stimulate new forms of local entrepreneurship and industries. We believe in transforming Mauritius and in making “lokal” beautiful.
We have partnered with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation to protect our unique yet fragile biodiversity. Over and above an annual donation amounting to Rs 5 million, we have also launched Your Card for Change to bring onboard our customers.

READ MOREOur Social Leave program empowers our people to take one paid leave day each year to volunteer for non-profit organisations. Be it planting, painting, cleaning, sorting, or even keeping company, no action is ever too trivial. By giving our people the opportunity to support community partners, we can help do more good, together.
Because effective change needs data, we have the facts.
