Climate change is one of the most important and urgent challenges of all time. In order to limit global warming, the world needs to switch to a low-carbon economy. This will require significant investment.
As a bank, we play an important role in facilitating these investments. At SEB, we have a clear ambition to be a positive force in the change that is required and increase the pace towards a sustainable future for people, companies and society. Through the capital we employ, we have the power, the opportunity and the responsibility to positively influence the world we live in.
We can achieve the greatest possible change by cooperating with existing customers and supporting them in their transition. We do that by providing responsible advice and viable financing. Is it also possible for customers to contribute to sustainable development through their savings and investments.
