Romanian Business Leaders
Romanian Business Leaders Foundation
Erste AM supports the Romanian Business Leaders Foundation from the beginning. The Romanian Business Leaders Foundation ("RBL") is an apolitical, non-governmental and nonprofit organization set up in July 2011. Its objective is to develop a platform for action and social involvement for private sector leaders. The ultimate goal is for Romania to become a better country for responsible business and thus for all Romanians. RBL is an active member of the Romanian Development Coalition, the most important organization representing private sector interests in Romania. For details on RBL projects, you can visit www.rbls.ro or the Romanian Business Leaders Foundation Facebook page.

Supporting tennis performance
Erste AM has supported tennis performance since 2010, sponsoring the Tenis10 competitions for three years. We want to help small tennis players learn the basics of sound financial education early on so that all participants in the Tennis10 tournaments under our logo have received, together with other gifts and surprises, their first financial asset, a subscription made by us on their behalf for 100 RON in the ERSTE Equity Romania - Equity fund. In the Tenis10 editions to which Erste AM was a partner, the competitions were held in dozens of clubs in over 20 cities across the country (Bucharest, Arad, Ploiesti, Craiova, Galati, Botosani, Cluj-Napoca, Targu Mures, Mamaia, , Piteşti, Braşov, Buzău) under the aegis of the Romanian Tennis Federation and were based on the rules of the International Tennis Federation, the standard in the field.
In 2013, Erste AM has signed a four-year partnership with the Romanian Tennis Federation.
