Nordea EN English Dansk Norsk Suomi Svenska Community engagement Breadcrumb Home About us Nordea in society Community engagement Sharing what we are good at At Nordea, we know that people with good financial skills get more out of life. We also know that entrepreneurs play an important role in driving innovation and growth and creating jobs. That’s why we provide financial and digital skills training and support entrepreneurship through community engagement and sponsored partnerships. It’s our way of creating a positive impact for our local communities. Building financial skills, supporting entrepreneurship We’re very aware that our position as the biggest bank in the Nordic region and one of the largest in Europe brings with it an enormous responsibility – and a great opportunity – to create a positive impact for society. By focusing on areas where our employees have extensive expertise, we can have more impact and make a real difference. Through own programmes and partnerships, we help people develop better financial and digital skills and support entrepreneurship. Sharing our deep financial expertise and knowledge is our contribution to the communities around us. Engaging with our local communities through volunteering also helps us gain a deeper understanding of what we need to do to become an even better bank. We engage with our local communities through: Volunteering Nordea employees can spend two paid working days per year volunteering, for example teaching young people financial skills or participating in activities and events aimed at supporting entrepreneurship. Own programmes We create and run our own programmes for teaching financial skills and training people in the use of digital tools for daily banking. Sponsored partnerships We sponsor activities at schools and educational institutions and team up with organisations, accelerator programmes and startup hubs across the Nordics.
