Awash Bank

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) represents strategic importance to any business. In discharging its corporate social responsibility, it can be proudly spoken that Awash Bank is the pioneer private bank in understanding a corporate vision that goes beyond the conventional, economically driven business perspectives. Furthermore, though undoubtedly, CSR has become one of the organizational challenges for many business organizations in the past decades, when viewed from the perspective of the growing needs and obligations of sustainability, the Bank has been framing the concept of corporate social responsibility in its corporate business strategic roadmap in the past decades and positively integrated into its core business programs.
