Driving long-term value through trust, responsibility and impact
Sustainability is a central part of navigating our business environment, while contributing to broader societal and environmental goals. We believe in creating products and services that simplify people’s financial processes and empower both better decisions and financial empowerment.
Our aim is to positively impact our customers with seamless experiences and improved finances, our partners through successful collaboration, and our employees by fostering innovation and growth. We want to contribute to and ensure positive change for our main stakeholders – for the long term.
At Sambla Group, we are serious about sustainability governance, to manage and improve our performance to create value for our stakeholders. Our work with integrating our key sustainability matters is guided by our ESG strategy, and supported by a solid policy structure, a monthly performance reporting as well as continuous risk management and stakeholder dialogues. Our strategy includes five focus areas, with attached commitments as well as ambitious targets.
We work with finances – but it is people who are our most valuable resource. Our customers and our relationships with our customers are built on trust, and we believe our biggest impact is within providing services that focus on financial empowerment. That is the core of our business, and our main tool to create positive social change is to ensure that our customer’s interest s are adhered to. Additionally, we regularly publish financial guides and financial information to assist our customers in navigating the complex realities of personal finance.
Accordingly, Sambla Group is also made up of people. Our success is contingent upon our employees being able to work in a supportive, inclusive, diverse and responsible environment. Our greatest focus is to ensure we have employees who feel that they are all equally provided with the means to reach their professional potential, live balanced lives and are treated with dignity and respect. Social sustainability starts at our offices.
Our core focus areas and commitments within social sustainability are:
Protection of customers
We protect our customers and their interests.
Financial empowerment
We strive to create positive change in our society and for our customers.
Engaged employees and equal opportunities
We develop and attract all talent, equally.
Climate change remains as one of the most acute and pressing global challenges faced by our society. At Sambla, we recognise that it is imperative that we not only do our part in minimising and mitigating our negative impacts on climate change, but also assist our customers and our partners in doing theirs.
We believe that we, going forward, can be part of the transition to a sustainable economy, and that this will only grow in significance for our entire industry. We are committed to doing our part in decreasing emissions in all our operations, and we have set ambitious targets to ensure we’re on the right track. We strive to only use renewable energy, and we have a travel policy in place to cut emission.
Our core focus area within environmental sustainability is:
Climate and resource efficient operations
We minimise our environmental impact.
We’ll say it again – trust is the core of our business. Upholding high standards of integrity and good governance is not just a commitment, but a necessity both in our own operations and in that of our suppliers and our business partners. Our pledge to robust governance means we align our internal procedures with laws and regulations, as well as our policies, guidelines and ESG principles.
We operate in a highly regulated landscape and aim to always adopt industry best practice. As a licensed loan broker company, we act under the supervision of different authorities in the markets we operate on. Integrity and transparency guide our way of working. We have systems in place for data privacy, compliance, and risk management. All employees undergo regular trainings to ensure high ethical and professional standards are maintained.
Our focus area within governance is:
Good governance
We are transparent and we take responsibility.
Commitments to our stakeholders
Together, these commitments help us build a more responsible, resilient, and future-focused financial ecosystem. We build trust through dialogue. For more information or any questions regarding our work with ESG and sustainability – please contact our ESG Manager Klara Lindvall
