An increasing number of customers today demand a strong focus on sustainability and ESG issues, also in different savings products, something that I personally feel both strong for, and have worked actively with, in the past. I am thrilled by the opportunity to further strengthening Swedbank Robur´s customer offerings and contribute to the overall goal together with my new team,” said Ulrika Lindén.
