“The Silver Rank award recognises the tangible steps NRBC Bank has taken to embed sustainability into every aspect of its operations,” noted Prof. Sukoharsono during the ceremony. “It reflects not only compliance with global reporting standards but also the bank’s genuine commitment to creating positive impacts for society and the environment.”
