Banco Sabadell
In the 1st Quarter 2008, Banco Sabadell entered the FTSE4Good Index, a leading international stock market index that includes companies that meet strict economic, environmental and social responsibility criteria, making it the index of choice for sustainable investment products. Banco Sabadell's inclusion in the FTSE4Good index series means that the stock may be included in socially responsible investment product portfolios.
Although there is no compulsory regulation requiring Corporate Social Responsibility reporting in Spain, Banco Sabadell has published a CSR report since 2003. Each year Banco Sabadell sets CSR targets and objectives for each of our stakeholders. They are published in a CSR report in which the previous year report is also disclosed.
As part of the process of reflection and development of Optima 09 business plan, Banco Sabadell analysed the impact and contribution of each activity with respect to its stakeholders and the corporate values underpinning that relationship; as a result we could make sure that the plan's programmes and initiatives contributed positively to both developing those values and to enhancing our activity vis-Ã vis each stakeholder group.

CIB
CIB in the Community
Humanitarian Contribution Toward Flood Relief
In the aftermath of the violent floods which afflicted several Upper Egyptian Governorates during October 1994, CIB immediately responded to this national crisis by donating one and a half million pounds to the emergency fund established to provide relief to the victims and aid towards rebuilding their homes and villages.
Earthquake
On October 12, 1992, Egypt was hit with a major earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was in Fayoum province lying approximately 100 kilometers west of Cairo. The impact was devastating in terms of both human and material losses as Egypt has not historically been an earthquake prone country. The earthquake resulted in large-scale destruction of properties mostly in the Greater Cairo area, particularly affecting older structures in the city's traditional quarters.
As a part of its ongoing commitment to charitable and community service activities, CIB immediately contributed to the cash relief funds raised by the Government of Egypt to support victims of the earthquake. The Bank also financed the reconstruction of two elementary schools in the Greater Cairo area to enable young children to rapidly resume their studies with minimum disruption in a safer environment.
Cultural Events
CIB has on several occasions sponsored internationally renowned artists to show in Egypt. In a brief that such a pioneering institution has a role to play in the educational and cultural improvement of the Egyptian people, CIB has sponsored the Bolshoi, Opera Aida, the American Dance Theatre and many renowned cultural events.
Donations
Senior Management had taken the decision that yearly gifts or presents would be replaced by assistance in sectors of the society where support is needed. An ambulance was give as a present to Giza Governorate; a kidney dialysis machine was purchased on behalf of a needy hospital in Cairo.
