Diversity & inclusion

We aspire to have the best mix of talent from all backgrounds who can contribute to our Handelsbanken culture and ethos and develop a long-term career with us. We pride ourselves on our high ethical and professional standards, and run our operations carefully and sustainably. To us, diversity and inclusion means that everyone has the same rights, opportunities, and conditions to develop and contribute.

Bringing together and valuing different perspectives is an important part of our success, and is therefore closely linked to our profitability goals. We believe that having customers from a diverse range of backgrounds and expectations goes hand in hand with greater competitiveness. It drives innovation and strengthens our business. As an organisation that believes in having purpose that goes beyond profitability, this is paramount to us.

We aim to recruit, develop and retain employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives while also reflecting the diversity of the communities we operate in, enhancing our ability to even better understand the market and adapt to a constantly changing society. We take pride in nurturing long-term relationships with our customers, employees, suppliers and local communities.

Women in Finance Charter

By 2026, Handelsbanken aims to have 40% of our leaders to be female. As part of Handelsbanken UK we are proud to be a signatory to the Women in Finance Charter, underlining our ongoing commitment to equality throughout our business. The charter is a pledge for gender balance across the UK financial services industry, based on the recommendations of a review published in early 2017 by HM Treasury.

We have a strong belief in transparency, accountability and ethically sound practices, and have set out clear goals against which all employees will be assessed. This will be reflected in their annual performance reviews and compensation.
