Raiffeisen Bank International | Sustainability Report 2018
Since 2016, Raiffeisen Bank Aval JSC has engaged
in a partnership with the “Promotion of Cinema
Development – Watch Ukrainian” association. In
2018, this included supporting the second edition of
the wide-ranging communication project “Watch
Ukrainian – Create your Future!”. The project has a
cultural and social vision and is aimed at developing
a new Ukrainian cinema. It popularizes general human
values via a broad discussion within society and movie
scripts that highlight positive lifestyles and encourage
people to take an active role in bringing about change
for the better. The project involved not only 18 Ukrainian
producers, but also 100 experts from the cinema
industry and the non-profit sector. A total of 501 short scripts from 314 authors were submitted to the movie script
competition “Our Cinema” (“Svoye kino”). From these submissions, 20 were selected to be shown as part of the
project. In 2018, Raiffeisen Bank Aval JSC made a contribution of € 65,015.
Social initiatives
The majority of the projects carried out during the reporting period were social initiatives. In conjunction with
various national and international cooperation partners (such as Caritas), socially disadvantaged children and
young people, along with single women, made up the majority of those offered aid.
In 2018, Bauspartage organized by Raiffeisen Bausparkasse Gesellschaft
m.b.H. supported the SOS Children’s Villages in Austria with € 45,000.
Every building savings agreement concluded during the promotional period
helped to fund new equipment for sports and recreation.
A playhouse at the SOS Children’s Village in Hinterbrühl (Lower Austria) has
already been completed.
Up until 2012, Raiffeisen BANK d.d. Bosna i
Hercegovina bought greetings cards for its customers
in celebration of New Year and other religious
holidays from various associations working to support
children and people with disabilities. Since then, it has
sent electronic greetings cards and donated the
money it would have spent on physical cards and
postage. The electronic cards show customers which
organizations were supported. To date, the bank has
donated over € 109,000 in connection with religious
holidays and more than € 107,000 at New Year.
