CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Social Responsibility at the Bank of Industry refers to our commitment to recognising and managing our impact on society by achieving a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives (the triple-bottomline approach), while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders.
