Theory of Change
Why we exist
The change we want to see in society. Our purpose as a public interest Foundation
- Because we believe in a sustainable and inclusive society where everyone has a chance to thrive through a quality job
- Because unemployment remains a systemic issue leading to inequalities, poverty, and mistrust in our institutions
- Because social innovation is as hard to finance as it is crucial for society
10 years ago our Foundation was created, to make our philantrophic efforts more structured and professional. Philantrophy has always been in the DNA of the bank.
