ESG Report 2019
27 March 2020 - Landsbankinn

Landsbankinn publishes an annual ESG report based on the principles of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The Report endeavours to provide an insight into accomplishments and pin-point room for improvement.

This Report reviews equality at Landsbankinn, responsible investment, implementation of three of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in the operation and wide-reaching community projects the Bank participates in, including an international venture to develop carbon emission account methods for financial undertakings.

Lilja Björk Einarsdóttir, CEO of Landsbankinn:

“Clearly, the social and economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will be enormous. Under such circumstances, the Bank’s main role is to serve and support its customers. At the same time, it is important to plan for the future. Landsbankinn’s ESG Report, published today, reviews the Bank’s sustainability platform in 2019. The Report provides information on the varied projects the Bank is engaged in under social responsibility, from ensuring equality in the work place, implementation of the methodology of responsible investment and wide-reaching social projects. The importance of sustainability in corporate activity continues to grow and Landsbankinn intends to continue to lead in the field. This year, the Bank’s most important task will be to provide sound and effective financial service and support customers through challenging times.”

Landsbankinn is an active participant in the UN's Global Compact, UN PRI, a founding member of the Iceland Sustainable Investment Forum (IcelandSIF), as well as Festa, Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility. International rating agency Sustainalytics reviewed Landsbankinn for ESG risk and the Bank received an excellent score, ranking 6th out of 376 European banks assessed by Sustainalytics.

In September 2019, Landsbankinn signed the UN’s Principles for Responsible Banking and has since set goals presented in the Report. These goals involve assessing emissions from Landsbankinn’s credit and asset portfolios, developing green lending, and working to close the gender-based wage gap and boost gender equality in the labour market.

Reception of Danish bank notes
Customers can buy Danish bank notes in Landsbankinn branches and ATMs throughout Iceland. We would like to advise customers that the Bank no longer accepts DKK 1,000 and 500 bills, nor any Faroe Islands króna bills. There are no changes to transactions in DKK 200, 100 and 50 bills. Cash transactions comply with the Act on Actions to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. Tighter rules in Denmark limit the reception of bank notes by foreign banks and Landsbankinn is as a result no longer able to accept DKK 1,000 and 500 bills.
