Social Responsibilities
Philosophical stand of Bank Keshavarzi is ;(a) all human beings are equally important, (b) given the opportunity, they can make positive contribution to the betterment of their own lives and the others in the society, and (d) the Bank's financial support for economic activities in the processes of gaining self- reliance and satisfaction of being active along with co-operation with others would result in sustainable development.
This view endorses the principal of equity and creates incentive for socially disadvantaged to overcome their disabilities by taking constructive role in their lives and society. The Bank's mandate is "provision of all kind of services for development", and to fulfill its mission avoids "Financial providers approach" but "opening windows of opportunities" for all through combined efforts of bank and other organizations.
