Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR or ESG), is something we take seriously at Spar Nord and have done so for many years. However, we prefer to translate this fashionable term into our own language and reality because experience shows that this produces better defined and more focused action.

Board of Directors – attendance rate
The Spar Nord Board of Directors convenes 11 ordinary meetings a year and holds a strategy seminar and four meetings with the chairmen of the regional bank committees. In 2022, the Board of Directors held a total of 24 physical meetings and telephone conferences.
Remuneration
The overarching principles for remuneration at Spar Nord are contained in the Bank’s remuneration policy, which in case of material changes or at least once every four years is adopted by the shareholders at the General Meeting at the recommendation of the Board of Directors and following preparatory deliberation in the Nomination and Remuneration Committee established by the Board of Directors. The policy is updated once every year by the Board of Directors following preparatory deliberation in the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
The remuneration policy was approved by a sufficient majority at the Bank’s Annual General Meeting held on 19 March 2024. As no shareholder has demanded a complete account of the voting procedure, no complete count of the votes cast has been made.
