At Nordea, community engagement is about creating positive change in collaboration with different organisations and with the help of our employees.
In our three community engagement programmes we focus on building financial skills, fostering entrepreneurship and championing social belonging. These key focus areas are activated in our own initiatives and also in collaboration with a wide variety of partnerships and sponsorships.
All Nordea employees are invited to volunteer 16 hours each year through Nordea’s community engagement programmes. We conduct both face-to-face volunteering activities as well as online and hybrid volunteering activities, where participants are able to join regardless of geographical area.
