Partnerships & Initiatives

Contributing to a stronger Nordic society

As the leading investment bank in the Nordics, we are committed to contributing to a stronger and more sustainable society. Through initiatives, partnerships and long-term engagement, we support entrepreneurship, diversity and sustainable development across the region.

Supporting entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship has long been a driving force behind innovation, growth and prosperity in the Nordic economies. Entrepreneurs challenge established ways of thinking, develop new solutions and build companies that create value far beyond their own businesses.

At DNB Carnegie, we are committed to supporting entrepreneurship through initiatives and partnerships that recognise, promote and inspire the next generation of Nordic business leaders. Through initiatives such as Framtidens Entreprenör, DNB NXT and Affärsbragden, we help highlight entrepreneurs who create growth, innovation and positive societal impact.

Promoting diversity and inclusion

We believe that diverse leadership teams make better decisions, drive innovation and create stronger long-term shareholder value.

Through our initiatives and partnerships, we work to increase diversity in business and finance, support more women in leadership and board positions, and inspire future generations to consider careers in the financial industry. Through programmes such as Getting Women on Board and GAIN, we help build stronger networks and create new opportunities for talent across the Nordic region.

Driving sustainable development

Businesses and investors have a critical role to play in the transition to a more sustainable economy. We believe capital can be a powerful force for positive change when directed towards companies that develop sustainable solutions and business models.

Through the DNB Carnegie Sustainability Award, we recognise listed Nordic companies that demonstrate leadership in sustainability and inspire others to accelerate their own transition. The award highlights companies that successfully combine long-term value creation with a positive impact on society and the environment.
