MUFG Union Bank Appoints Julius Robinson as Head of Corporate Social Responsibility for the Americas [Manufacturing Close - Up]


(Manufacturing Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MUFG Union Bank reported that Managing Director Julius Robinson has been named Head of Corporate Social Responsibility for the Americas.

Robinson reports to Tim Wennes, West Coast President and Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Markets.

Based in San Francisco, Robinson has managed Union Bank's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities on the West Coast. In this expanded role, he assumes responsibility for company-wide CSR strategy and programs in the United States, Latin America and Canada, including charitable giving, community outreach, environmental stewardship, Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) compliance and investment, and supplier diversity. Robinson also oversees the bank's government relations activities and the MUFG Union Bank Foundation, the nonprofit entity that acts as the agent for the bank's charitable contributions.



"Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is a core value that helps guide our daily business practices and long-term strategic decisions," said Wennes. "Our broad-based CSR programs foster socio-cultural equity and diversity, promote financial prosperity for present and future generations, and conserve our natural resources, resulting in measurable positive impacts in the diverse communities we serve." "These ongoing investments continue to differentiate our bank as a highly responsible and trusted financial institution," said Wennes, "and our strong reputation is an important cornerstone in building the long-term relationships that fuel our growth. We are very proud of our accomplishments and look forward to this opportunity to expand our vision and programs, forging new partnerships that will continue to bring about the positive changes that help build strong, healthy communities." Robinson has more than 37 years of banking industry experience. He joined Union Bank in 1986 and has held a variety of increasingly responsible roles. Earlier this year, Robinson received congressional recognition for his work in the field of corporate social responsibility and his dedication to the Filipino-American community. He is chairman of Operation HOPE's Northwest Board of Directors and the Alliant International University Board of Trustees. He is also on the boards of Students Rising Above, the Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD), Bay Area Black United Fund, and the Oakland Education Fund. Robinson recently received the Humanitarian of the Year Award from Educating Young Minds; the Corporate Philanthropy Achievement Award from the San Francisco Housing Development Corp.; and the Community Leadership Award from the California Journal for Filipino Americans.
