Our ways

How we integrate sustainability in all levels of our business.

International commitments, a robust policy framework and a clear governance structure ensure that our efforts are implemented throughout the company. Integrating sustainability in our business harness our ability to serve our customers. This combined with the commitment and knowledge among our employees is the recipe for our success.

Our sustainability focus areas

Our commitments

SEB has adopted a number of global initiatives and international codes of conduct which guide our business decisions and the overall sustainability work. This also gives us an opportunity to learn, share knowledge and impact international policy development.

Our policies

Our business is governed by a set of policies and instructions. Within the Corporate Sustainability area, we abide by, among others, the Sustainability Policy, the Environmental Policy and the Human Rights Policy.

Our approach to fossil fuels

We firmly believe that there is a need for society to reduce its dependency on fossil fuel related products given their significant negative climate impact. To contribute to achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement, SEB has set targets for 2030 within its Net-Zero Banking Alliance commitment.

Sustainability governance

Strong governance is important for successful progress. We have created a robust sustainability governance model, with clear roles and mandates on different levels. This model determines how we set our strategy and work to implement it in practice.

Working with our suppliers

We are convinced that having suppliers with high performance as regards environmental, social and ethical aspects creates value for us as well as for our suppliers. In our Supplier Code of Conduct we express what we expect from our suppliers.

Inclusion and diversity

We are convinced that inclusion and diversity are crucial for our prosperity, innovativeness and growth. Put simply, a broad variety of ideas, skills and experiences among our employees will serve to increase our creativity, problem solving-skills and our understanding of customer needs.
