The very existence of savings banks is rooted in contributing to social progress and supporting disadvantaged groups of people. Improving living conditions, participating in local economic development, building greater social cohesion in their local communities and other commitments to society activities such as sport or culture, are therefore the building stones of their CSR involvement. Today, they still maintain strong relationships with the local communities, with the objective to contribute to a balanced, more equitable and enterprising society.
