We engage in collaborations
We at SEB have a strong belief that commitment drives change. Through our partnerships we want to become involved so that together we can create conditions to increase diversity and contribute to a more inclusive and equal society.
SEB has various collaborations designed to promote inclusion and diversity in the countries in which we operate. Here we have collected together information about the collaborations that we mainly have in Sweden. Our aim is that this site will be dynamic and that we continuously will add interesting information from all our sites.
With Mentor och Mitt Liv we build bridges to the business community for young students and people with a foreign background
In Sweden, SEB collaborates with Mentor and Mitt Liv – two organisations that in slightly different ways work to get people into working life with the help of mentors. While Mentor is aimed at young students and has the ambition to build bridges both between young people and adults and between schools and the business community. Mitt Liv focuses on people with a foreign background and tertiary education. There it is about helping students to get jobs that corresponds to their skills and qualifications.

Diversity and technology collaboration essential for innovation
IGEday (Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day) is an annual event initiated by the Womengineer Foundation. Engineering companies and technology organisations are encouraged to open their doors to girls and non-binaries aged 13-19 to let them experience what it is like to be an engineer for one day. The aim of the day is for participants to meet role models and be inspired to choose engineering studies themselves.
