Sustainability

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 term. 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 three pillars:

The local economy

Our environmental and cultural heritage

Individual and collective well being

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.

Klima:
the fight against climate change is on

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.

HOW WE CAN REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Lokal is beautiful:
reshaping 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.

HOW WE CAN TRANSFORM
OUR LOCAL ECONOMY

Biodiversity:
we are helping protect our fragile ecosystem

We have partnered with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation to protect our unique yet fragile biodiversity. In addition to an annual donation of Rs 5 million, we have launched the Your Card for Change programme to involve our customers in our preservation efforts.

HOW OUR CUSTOMERS
ALSO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Rises nou kiltir:
we are committed to preserving our cultural heritage

Prosperity is also about cultural wealth. It is therefore our duty to preserve our heritage and leave it as legacy to future generations.

Getting our people involved

Our Social Leave programme encourages our people to take one paid leave day each year to volunteer to help 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.
