Social involvement

Through our business activities, Jyske Bank contributes to financial security and a good life – for the whole life – for many people. The good life is also about well-being and social relations which is the focal point of our social initiatives.

Jyske Bank engages in a number of social projects and initiatives for which we see an opportunity to make a difference with our resources and competencies. We engage in partnerships with other businesses, the public sector or players from the civil society concerning for instance young people’s training avenues and combating loneliness.

Folkebevægelsen mod Ensomhed (United against Loneliness)

The Partnership with United against Loneliness is based on food and people and the communities which may be formed over a meal. Since 2015, Jyske Bank has in cooperation with more than 80 organisations, associations, municipalities and businesses been involved in the battle against loneliness. We support the apolitical organisation and the vision that nobody in Denmark should suffer severe loneliness. Therefore, we also participate in the annual campaign Danmark Spiser Sammen (Denmark Eats Together) which creates communities over a meal and contributes to the battle against loneliness for many people.
