Net Zero Transition

Accelerating our clients' transitions to a low-carbon economy.

We're helping accelerate our clients' transitions to a low-carbon economy. Sector by sector. Industry by industry. We are committed to partnering with our clients in their transition and help society reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

SEB is one of 42 founding signatories of the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA). In line with our sustainability strategy and our commitment to NZBA, SEB has committed to align its credit portfolio with pathways to net-zero by 2050 or sooner, and to set interim targets for 2030. The targets are in line with the ambition to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in accordance with the Paris Agreement. 

Sector by sector. Industry by industry.

Through deep insights, responsible advice, and capital, we're helping our clients to reach their sustainability targets.

We are focusing on companies at every stage, from entrepreneurs to large corporations. Because every link in the supply chain counts for the world to move towards net zero.

Energy sector

Energy lies at the heart of the success of nations. The ability to provide ample, flexible, and cheap energy has fuelled the creation of industry, jobs, tax income and welfare across our home markets.
