Corporate responsibility

Nykredit is the largest lender in Denmark, the largest lender to homeowners and one of the largest lenders to small and medium-sized businesses, the agricultural sector and the housing sector. We are owned by an association of customers. As such, we have a special responsibility for creating value to our customers and to society.

Corporate responsibility lies at the core of Nykredit's strategy: “We want to be the customer-owned responsible financial provider for people and businesses all over Denmark.”

Nykredit is committed and uniquely positioned to help solve the common challenges faced by society and to make a difference.

We will be active in all of Denmark and support growth – in urban and rural districts alike. At all times. And we will do our best to create a greener Denmark for our children and for future generations.
