Community involvement in Sweden
Pride
As one of the main partners of Pride, Swedbank participates in the Pride Week to celebrate the equal rights of every human. Many of our collagues volounteers this week to discuss diversity and equality at seminars and spontaneous meetings.
Friends
Swedbank is one of the main sponsors of the Friends Foundation, which works to prevent bullying and offensive behaviour at Swedish schools. Each week, Friends visits six or seven schools, from primary to upper-secondary, to provide training.
WWF
The bank offers several products that support the operations of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Each time a customer uses a WWF MasterCard or WWF Maestro card, Swedbank makes a certain donation to the WWF. Another example is a new savings account whereby customers donate the interest on their deposits to the WWF.
Swedbank Arena
Swedbank is giving its name to the Nordic region’s largest arena, which is being constructed in an entirely new neighbourhood in Stockholm. The new Swedish national arena will be one of Europe’s most modern and environmentally friendly venues for sports, culture and business events.
