As the first Nordic Bank, Danske Bank have signed up to Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF). The partnership enables us to measure, and in the long term, set concrete targets for our impact on biodiversity.

"We have made a clear commitment to being a leading bank in the Nordic region in terms of sustainability and sustainable finance. We have already taken – and will continue to take – significant action in pursuit of our aspiration," says Martin Blessing, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Danske Bank.

In 2021, projects funded by green loans from Danske Bank and Realkredit Danmark have saved the atmosphere from CO2 emissions equivalent to 4 million flights from Copenhagen to Paris.

Danske Bank is following the tragic situation in Ukraine closely, and our thoughts are with all those affected by the war in Ukraine.

We support our customers with advice and ongoing expertise related to our customers’ activities and finances, and we naturally comply with the sanctions imposed by the UN, the EU and the UK, as well as US sanctions. In addition, Danske Bank has taken a number of other initiatives.

An internal survey from 2021 shows that a large majority believe that Danske Bank is an inclusive workplace, but there is still plenty to be done to ensure equal opportunities for all. Four women at markets & Transaction Banking have set up a new network that will offer support, advice and inspiration.

Leading researchers from DTU (Denmark's Technical University) have for the first time successfully taken quantum communication out of the lab and used it to securely transfer data at Danske Bank. This is a breakthrough in both the development of digital communication and the race against cyber criminals, experts say.
