Values

The social role and civic responsibility of cooperative banks relies on the observance of clearly defined values and principles pursued by the industry since the mid-nineteenth century. Even in the current economic circumstances, where the ultimate goal is to maximize profits, cooperative banks remain faithful to their values and ideals expressed in the International Cooperative Principles, such as: democracy, equality, solidarity and justice.
