About Hälsinglands Sparbank
Hälsinglands Sparbank is an independent local savings bank founded in 1848. With no external shareholders, the bank reinvests its profits into the local community, supporting initiatives that strengthen businesses, culture, sports, and social development. Guided by the values of being engaged, close, and open, Hälsinglands Sparbank is committed to helping individuals and companies achieve long-term financial security while contributing to sustainable growth across the Hälsingland region and Sundsvall municipality.
Sustainability
We aspire to be a leading bank within sustainability. What is long-term sustainable is also long-term profitable for customers, business and society. We work to constantly broaden our customers' knowledge to enable them to make sustainable choices – private, corporate and institutional.
Societal engagement
We have a long tradition of helping people achieve a sound and sustainable financial situation. Through our own initiatives and with our partners, we educate youths about personal finance and entrepreneurship. Another of our priorities is contributing towards digital inclusion for more people in society.
Environment
We believe that our success as a bank is connected to helping society meet the social and environmental challenges of our times. We act on this in our customer service, our asset management, our credits and our product development, as well as in our own operations. We are determined to facilitate a climate transition that aligns with the Paris Agreement, and we will contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Human rights
We respect human rights throughout all our business functions: our employees, business relations and supplier engagements. We assess human rights risks in business relations, decisions and strategy, and seek to prevent and mitigate negative human rights impacts that are directly linked to our operations, products and services.
Anti-corruption
Everything Hälsinglands Sparbank does should be characterised by transparency, trust and integrity. We take an active standpoint against all forms of corruption in all markets where we operate, and we work hard to detect and report suspected money-laundering and terrorist financing. The bank has stringent procedures in place to identify and understand risks of corruption in order to apply preventive measures.
