Here you can read about what we mean when we say:
At Nordea, everyone contributes. High performance is deeply rooted in our purpose and values and is everyone’s responsibility. Each colleague plays a part in moving Nordea forward.
Throughout the organisation, we have clear targets and priorities backed by effective performance tracking and follow-up. We strive to communicate clearly and proactively, ensuring everyone understands our direction and progress, what is expected of them, and how to deliver.
We have a philosophy of continuous improvement, where we strive to do a bit better every day. Our culture is characterised by collaboration across teams and markets, trust, and ownership at every level. We share ideas, learn fast and achieve more when we work together – in keeping with the spirit of our Nordic scale. Execution and innovation speed is prioritised by developing critical capabilities, embracing new technology and acting decisively.
We will continue to deliver capital excellence. The Group’s capital position has been among the strongest in Europe for several years, supported by stronger financial performance, solid capital generation and disciplined capital management.
We expect to maintain robust capital generation, which will enable business growth, potential bolt-on acquisitions, and continued significant shareholder distributions, including through semi-annual dividends. With more than 600,000 private shareholders across the Nordic region, we are proud to contribute to regional prosperity through our distributions.
We remain strongly committed to supporting our customers with their sustainability transitions.
We have strengthened our work in this area and have fully embedded sustainability into our business – in customer offerings, processes and operations. We have delivered well on our near-term sustainability targets and remain focused on delivering on our medium- and long-term commitments.
