Postbank's Corporate Social Responsibility programs focus on Education, Health, Environment and Emergency Response. These initiatives portray the bank's commitment to businesses that contribute to sustainable economic development by working with local communities and the society at large, to improve their lives.
One of the reasons why Postbank is involved in Corporate Responsibility Programs is; to support situations that enable different communities and societies in Kenya realize their full potential and empower people in terms of information, education and communication.The bank has engaged in various programs in Corporate Social Responsibility. These include sponsoring the construction of a special ablution block at City Primary School, Nairobi, through the Autism Society of Kenya, sponsoring Diabetes Walk 2011, increase of forest cover through planting trees in Karura, donation of reflector jackets to bodaboda riders, donation of food stuffs to Gracious Glory centre and many others.
One of the Education programs includes the Annual Junior Achievement Job shadow week, where young boys and girls from different schools in Nairobi visit the bank to learn more about the working environment and to get a glimpse of what happens around the industry. As a partner of social transformation, we focus our support to those initiatives that have the largest social and development goals. As a socially responsible bank, pursuit for good citizenship has been part of our sponsorship program that better the lives of the needy particularly the vulnerable, socially and economically marginalized segments in the society. This has been the philosophy of our Corporate Responsibility.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility Practice will also continue to focus on understanding of incentives and improving strategic interactions. We strive to provide youth-specific diagnostics, to help the bank work more effectively with learning institutions, we use the incentives more strategically in development plans, and take advantage of dynamic linkages between voluntary approaches and regulations.
