Let’s talk Ethics!

Did you know that Young Rabo has a permanent seat in the Ethics Committee of Rabobank? And that you can enter interesting dialogues about ethical dilemmas within Rabobank?

 What does the Ethics Committee do?
De Ethics Committee meets every 2-3 months. Within the committee there is a representation of diverse managers from the entire organisation. Every employee can suggest a case for the committee. The cases are bank related and are about dilemmas in the grey area. We are not guided by what we must do or must do – but by what we want to do. The Ethics Committee formulates a point of view with which the right entity can work.

Which ethical dilemma will we be discussing?
Due to sensitivity of the memo, we will be sharing the agenda on the 31 of March, topics on the agenda are always important and relevant themes in our daily lives and the world around us. 

Are you curious about the themes which have been discussed in past Ethics Committees? Via Rabohub you can read all about the different cases and topics > Ethics Committee & Global Ethics Office

What is expected of me?
The seat which Young Rabo has in the Ethics Committee is on behalf of all young employees of Rabobank. Your input is of great value! You don’t need to be an expert on a specific theme or on ethics. It’s more important that you think about the topics and that you can form and give your own opinion on the topics. We use your input during the Ethics Committee. 

As the memo outlining the topics to be discussed in the committee can't be shared too far in advance, participants will receive the memo (about 7 pages) on Monday morning. So, make sure to set aside some time on Monday or Tuesday morning to prepare yourself. During the meeting, there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

 So…. Sign up and let’s talk ethics!

This activity is in person at the Croeselaan office and will be from 12.00 to 13.00. Feel free to enjoy your lunch during this hour.
