It is our conviction that we have a responsibility to create sustainable prosperity for our customers, communities, people, and country. That is why we have decided to redefine the very meaning of success and go well beyond numbers.
Success Beyond Numbers
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.
Our approach
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:
Based on these three pillars, we have launched a number of key initiatives.
Lokal Rebound: building on our resilience in production
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.
Lokal is
beautiful: how we could reshape our local economy
We believe in finding ways to
stimulate new forms of local entrepreneurship and industries. We believe in
transforming Mauritius and in making “lokal” beautiful.
Biodiversity: we too are helping
protect our fragile ecosystem
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.
Now is the time to redefine the way we measure success.

Getting our people involved
Our 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.
