Strategy

Independent and authoritative as a central bank and supervisor

DNB is seen as trustworthy and authoritative among the general public and in the financial sector. We must continue to earn our reputation, by doing our job well and by identifying developments that require additional effort on top of what we are already doing. And by acting accordingly. We are also a European organisation and we are convinced that a level European playing field best serves the Dutch interest.

Open and involved in society

We keep our ear to the ground in society, seek to engage in dialogue with stakeholders, and are open to outside opinions and insights. Our renovated headquarters will be instrumental in this regard. We also see it as our role to contribute to a healthy debate by providing facts and analyses while avoiding short-termism.

Adaptive and proactive

Our ambition to be a good employer requires that we invest in the competences and skills needed to become a more agile organisation, ready for the next crisis. This is why we have taken considerable steps to make DNB more diverse and inclusive, but work remains to be done. We feel this is important because adopting a wide array of perspectives means we can adapt readily.

Efficient and effective

As an organisation we need to have the basics in order to do our job well, in terms of information and IT, and risk management. And of course we strive for comprehensiveness and attention to detail wherever possible, but efficiency and agility should also drive our actions. This requires a change of mindset from every quarter in our organisation.
