Rabobank

In developing its global network, Rabobank International has opted for a policy of intensive, worldwide cooperation. It powerfully emphasises the importance of cultivating and exchanging knowledge at all levels, both within RI, between members of the Rabobank Group, and among the Group's strategic partners abroad. This pursuit of expertise on behalf of the customer is a goal that drives every member of the Rabobank International community. This community now revolves around a network of some 90 offices operating in more than 30 countries worldwide.

In pursuing its aim -- to deliver real and measurable customer value -- Rabobank International cannot claim to be all things to all customers. Instead, it is dedicated to assembling precisely the right combination of specialized skills and financial services and delivering solutions that directly address immediate or long-term customer needs.

Rabobank International is already a recognized authority in the food and agribusiness (F&A) sector, as befits its cooperative and agrarian roots. It has repeatedly demonstrated its unmatched expertise in the whole F&A value chain from raw materials to finished products. It has also developed a considerable presence among institutional investors. As the Rabobank Group progressively continues to enhance its network of international strategic alliances, Rabobank International's competence is also widening to include other carefully selected emerging markets.
 

Our thanks also go to the many individual supporters of the Commission on Globalization.  Together we are making the world more equitable, sustainable and secure.
