Building a Stronger Model for Sustainable Banking

In its latest feature, Business Magazine highlights the vision shared by MauBank CEO Vishuene Vydelingum on the evolution of the Mauritian banking model. For MauBank, sustainability is not a parallel strategy but a new dimension of performance that connects financial stability, responsible growth, and societal impact.

The Bank is reshaping how it measures and manages value, embedding ESG principles across credit assessment, governance, and culture. This means looking beyond profit to include the long-term resilience of businesses, communities, and the environment.

MauBank’s transformation extends to its people. Through ongoing training and capacity-building initiatives, teams are equipped to evaluate risks and opportunities through a climate-aware lens. The Bank also continues to reduce its own environmental footprint, from eliminating single-use plastics to transitioning toward renewable energy use at its Head Office.

“Our focus is on creating a model that is both profitable and responsible,” says Vishuene Vydelingum. “Sustainability strengthens performance when it becomes part of how decisions are made, not just what is financed.”

MauBank’s journey demonstrates that sustainable banking is not about following a trend. It is about setting a new standard for progress.
