Attention to Community

CIB Group continued to actively support the development of local communities, through solidarity initiatives, donation programs, and cultural and social projects. The bank works in partnership with civil society organizations and institutions to ensure that its initiatives have a real, positive social impact. The support is implemented in a transparent, accountable manner, in line with group-level policies. 

In addition to financial profitability, it is also important for the bank to fulfill its responsibility towards society, minimize social and environmental risks to fully support both its stability and growth strategy, and strive to generate a positive impact for the benefit of the community and the environment. Responsible operation also extends to the bank's external relations and its role in society. 

As a responsible company, CIB Bank strives to make its responsibility towards society as a whole tangible, in addition to its customers, employees and partners. It is essential for the bank to be able to respond quickly to specific needs that arise and to provide real assistance to the community. 

As a local community, the CIB Group – aligned with its national presence – interprets the entire Hungarian society, and within this, it initiates programs focusing primarily on disadvantaged groups, in accordance with the guidelines and instructions of the Parent Company. 

Volunteer initiatives and community involvement 

CIB Bank employees contributed to supporting communities through numerous volunteer programs. As part of the ‘United Way for Reading’ initiative, colleagues donated 289 contemporary books for 7–14-year-olds, which reached schools, kindergartens and children’s homes, supporting the development of reading and comprehension. 

The bank’s largest volunteer program, Volunteer Day, also provided employees with the opportunity to dedicate a full working day to socially beneficial causes. Volunteers helped in child protection institutions, participated in environmental campaigns, prepared packages for those in need, and supported the work of animal shelters and civil organizations. 

CIB Bank also participated in JótettBank – Bank Blood Donors Week, in which 72 employees donated blood voluntarily at a blood donation organized at the headquarters. In addition, 26 CIB volunteers participated in the national collection of the Hungarian Food Bank Association, with their help, 15,350 kg of food reached families in need. 

These initiatives clearly demonstrate CIB Bank's commitment to social responsibility, volunteerism and supporting local communities as well.
