Strategy and framework

A man and a woman analyse a report together.

Through our customer relations and product and service development activities, we have an opportunity to impact others and create added value for our stakeholders. That’s why we integrate sustainability into our operations, as this creates new business opportunities, reduces risks and encourages the business community to be more sustainable.

A sustainable business strategy

During the year, Swedbank intensified its efforts to further contribute to a sustainable society, where sustainability is a part of everything we do, and thereby create long-term value for the bank and all our stakeholders. To accelerate this work, Swedbank’s sustainability strategy is now fully integrated in the business strategy, a sustainable business strategy.

International agreements and cooperations

Swedbank has signed several international agreements, and is a member of and certified by various international organisations.

Policies create clear frameworks

Operational responsibility in the business areas, central coordination and a clear framework help us to work towards sustainability in our daily operations.
