Supporting local communities

We are local and close

We actively promote and develop the vitality of local and regional communities by offering jobs outside urban areas and by financing local private and SME customers. 

We annually organise or are involved in local events aimed at enhancing local community spirit and well-being. In addition, our owner foundations and co-operatives distribute grants and subsidies for non-profit purposes every year. These purposes include, for example, economic education, research, children’s sports, youth work, culture and nature conservation.

Our goals by 2026

Our goal is to support the well-being of local communities: 

• We create opportunities for companies and families by offering well-functioning services and information sharing also to entrepreneurs 
• We continue collaborating with foundations and co-operatives to support regional well-being
