Partnership and support

The economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been momentous all around the world. Here in Iceland, the blow has been especially hard since travel restrictions imposed by most countries have had a major negative effect on the travel sector, one of Iceland’s main export industries.

At the start of 2021, we began work based on our new and ambitious strategy headlined Landsbankinn, an ever-smarter bank. Landsbankinn, an ever-smarter bank, is undergoing continuous development and utilising digital technology to provide financial services with a personal touch. 

In 2020, we set ourselves a new strategy under the heading Landsbankinn, an ever-smarter bank. Our environment is undergoing extensive changes and the aim of the new strategy is to ensure that the Bank continues to develop, to offer customers the best service available. 

Good governance forms the foundation for solid relations between shareholders, the Board of Directors, executives, employees, customers and other stakeholders, and encourages objectivity, integrity, transparency and responsibility in the management of the Bank.

Our aim is to provide first-rate and reliable service, guided by the tenets of responsible investment.

We want to know and understand the environmental impact of our operation and have taken up much more detailed calculations of our carbon footprint. 

Job satisfaction measured high in 2020, despite the many challenges posed by Covid-19 and the fact that the majority of employees suddenly had to work from home. 

We participate in various projects that encourage development and progress in the community. We support several diverse projects with grants from the Community Fund, through direct support from branches to local ventures and mutually beneficial partnership arrangements.
