Corporate Social Responsibility

Here at Bank of China U.S.A. (BOC U.S.A.), we are dedicated to supporting local organizations that bring people together and make a meaningful difference.

 

Global Bank, Local Heart

As a global bank with a local heart, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is ingrained in everything Bank of China (BOC) does as an institution, from how we interact with our clients and employees, to how we operate within and support our local communities. 

 

Our CSR programs are guided by BOC’s commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen and to serve our communities, customers, shareholders, employees and the environment in order to create more economic value and improve people’s lives.

 

All of BOC U.S.A.’s branches are dedicated to supporting local communities and organizations through various initiatives, which bring people together to create a positive impact on the environment, society and the communities we serve. By embracing both top-down and bottom-up engagement, the causes and events we support showcase our extensive employee volunteerism, community lending and investments, as well as charitable giving programs.

Community Service

We invest our time in our communities’ underserved and underprivileged youth. Our staff are mentors in Bank of China’s Big Brothers Big Sister Workplace Mentor Program, which continued with remote sessions throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
