As a bank, Nordiska has a responsibility to conduct its operations in a way that contributes to the long-term sustainable development of society. Sustainability is integrated into everything we do, and our performance is measured from three perspectives: Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G).
The transition to a sustainable society
Reaching the global sustainability goals requires both individuals and organizations to change behavior. Individuals can contribute by adopting sustainable lifestyles and raising awareness of environmental issues, while organizations – such as Nordiska – can integrate sustainability into their business models, lending practices, and strategic decisions.
Nordiska’s Green Savings Account – Flex Green
One example of Nordiska’s sustainability initiatives is Nordiska Flex Green, a savings account where deposited funds are earmarked for green lending projects aligned with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At least 70% of lending is directed toward sustainable initiatives, particularly within Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.

Examples of green investments include:
Financing of solar energy projects
Financing of battery storage and energy optimization technologies
Financing of newly built properties with energy classifications A, B, or C
To strengthen the impact, Nordiska applies lower pricing on lending for sustainable investments. This means that both the bank and its customers contribute to a greener future.
ESG – Environment, Social, Governance
Nordiska integrates ESG principles across its operations. This includes:
Considering environmental and social risks in credit assessments.
Adopting policies that ensure ethics, transparency, and anti-corruption.
Maintaining a proactive reporting culture with clear disclosure to stakeholders.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals
Nordiska supports Agenda 2030 and the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, aimed at eradicating poverty, protecting the planet, and promoting peace and prosperity. Our products and financing solutions are designed to actively contribute to these goals.
UN Global Compact
Nordiska has signed the UN Global Compact and is committed to its ten principles of responsible business. These principles cover:
Human rights
Labor standards
Environmental protection
Anti-corruption
Nordiska is more than just a bank – we are a long-term partner in the transition to a more sustainable society. Through green products, responsible lending, and international commitments, we aim to be a catalyst for change and innovation.
