Governance
Overall Governance
SBAB is 100% owned by the Swedish state. According to the state's ownership policy, state-owned companies must act as role models in the area of sustainable business and act in a way that benefits public trust. Within SBAB, the board is ultimately responsible for ensuring that active and long-term work for sustainable development is carried out within the bank, based on SBAB’s material sustainability topics. SBAB’s CEO ensures that our sustainability work is fully integrated into SBAB’s business plan and relevant departments, and that the sustainability work follows the strategies decided by the board.
The Central Sustainability Team
The Central Sustainability Team is led by SBAB’s Head of Sustainability, who reports to the Head of Sustainability, Marketing & Communications, as well as to the CEO. The Central Sustainability Team's task is to coordinate and manage the strategic sustainability work within SBAB and, among other activities, ensure the progress of sustainability work towards the set goals for SBAB’s material sustainability topics.
SBAB’s Material Sustainability Topics
- Climate & energy transition
- Our attractive workplace
- Working conditions in the construction business
- Inclusive housing market and safe residential areas
- Information security
- Prevention of financial crime
Sustainability Forum
SBAB has established a Sustainability Forum where sustainability work at SBAB is addressed and where issues are prepared for decision-making bodies within SBAB. The Sustainability Forum is held at least four times annually and consists of representatives from each management team at SBAB. Some of the recurring annual topics to be addressed by the Sustainability Forum are the impact of sustainability on stakeholders, updates of the double materiality assessment, and the integration of department-specific sustainability goals, key figures, and activities carried out at SBAB and companies within the group.
