Corporate Governance
Good Corporate Governance supports sound value creation
"In markets and societies in continuous change, corporations exist to create value and need to earn their licence to operate. Clear governance ensures transparency, supports good management and facilitates sound value creation and responsible corporate behaviour.
Good corporate governance is not primarily about formal rights and duties, but more an ambition to ascertain - to the extent possible - that the corporation is both well governed and well managed.
Lessons learned from the financial crises in Nordic markets in the 1990s were built into behaviour, processes and systems of Nordea. This, together with good governance and management, helps explain why, in the recent financial crisis and the ensuing recession, Nordea could strengthen its service to its customers and report an unbroken chain of strong results to its shareholders."
