Although perhaps known for our strong local relationships, financial prudence and empowered working model, we know we can have most positive impact by lending and investing responsibly, as our customers' trusted advisor.
Our long term ESG strategy sets out the areas we will focus on in the coming years.

The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015. They consists of 17 goals, which aim to achieve sustainable social, environmental and financial development.
