Traditionally we have always played a major role in local
communities (SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities).
Even though the number of physical branch offices is falling,
we are still very much part of the local communities where we
have our roots and which we serve. This allows us to make a real
contribution to maintaining the vitality of local communities -
even when this comes under pressure.
Achieving responsible consumption in a circular economy (SDG
12 Responsible Consumption and Production) is key to the
transition which we urgently need to bring about in the face of
a growing world population. This goes to the very core of our
customer service with knowledge and funding. Entrepreneurs
are seizing this transition to invest in circular business models.
