Long before such activities became popularly known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and long before it became essential for companies to engage in CSR as part of their brand building agenda, First Bank of Nigeria Plc had been making regular, substantial contributions to the wellbeing of grassroots communities and Nigerians.

FirstBank's CSR strategy reflects our commitment to being socially, economically, and culturally responsible. With a resolve to provide sustainable solutions to the diverse developmental challenges that Nigerians encounter on various fronts, the Bank pursues constructive engagements and mutual partnerships with the recipient stakeholders, through a user-defined needs identification system.

FirstBank's CSR is accentuated by our sustained aspiration to lead the industry by example not just in the provision of the best products, services and developmental assistance for promoting the individual and common good, but also in maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance, accountability and responsiveness to our internal and external stakeholders.

Through our CSR initiatives, we provide targeted support for education and youth development, grassroots sports development, healthcare, arts and culture, entrepreneurial and economic development, as well as sustainability of the environment.
