Strategies and Processes
Swedbank’s sustainability strategy is based on the bank’s vision, values and purpose. We enable people, businesses and society to grow. We seek to do this in a way that is sustainable in the long-term.
Swedbank’s responsibility for sustainable development starts with the way we do business. We are and shall continue to be a secure bank that does not jeopardise financial market stability through excessive risk taking. Swedbank contributes by being part of the financial infrastructure that is key to a well functioning society. Sustainability is integrated in our business model and consists of three main areas: Financial sustainability, Social sustainability and Environmental sustainability. We thereby assure the bank’s fundamental capacity to contribute to economically, environmentally and socially sustainable development in markets where we operate and in society as a whole.
Financial Sustainability
- We meet the needs of communities for loans, savings and payments and we promote a sound and sustainable financial situation that does not jeopardise the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Social Sustainability
- We support social development in a globalised world and engage in the social challenges of society as part of our business idea. The bank can never be stronger than the society in which it operates.
Environmental Sustainability
- We help conserve social and natural resources. We work to reduce the use of the world’s finite resources. We promote a stable climate and alternative energy sources.
