Sustainability credentials

Developing a reputation as the nation’s ‘green’ bank takes years of commitment – both financial and physical. Which is why Nedbank Group is particularly proud of its ‘green bank’ status, and why it is committed to further entrenching this reputation through ongoing environmental efforts aimed at making a lasting difference.
