Choose the freedom to be yourself
Join the teamDiversity & Inclusion
Danske Bank aims to grow a diverse and inclusive culture to mirror the societies we are part of and to create equal opportunities for our employees. Nurturing a sense of belonging is essential to us. When people belong, they are comfortable with expressing themselves openly, freely and in their own voice and feel empowered to make a difference. We believe, that a diverse and inclusive culture will help us unlock the full potential of our employees and to become a better bank for all our stakeholders.
Examples of how we work with Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)
Diversity & Inclusion Council
The Global Diversity and Inclusion Council consists of representatives from all Danske Bank countries. The Council's priorities include ensuring gender, age, race and other equality principles, educating colleagues and the public on issues of diversity and inclusion.
Gender balance in senior leadership
Gender diversity is recognised as a multiplier for other areas of diversity. We have a global target for gender balance in senior leadership for 65/35 by 2023. Meanwhile, in Lithuania, this target already reaches more than 50 percent.

Gender neutrality in the hiring process
We are working to eliminate gender bias in recruitment by, e.g., providing recruitment training for managers, screening job ads for gender neutrality and ensuring a gender-neutral use of recruitment channels.

Rainbow families in Danske Bank have the same rights to maternity-, paternity- and parental leave as other families.
