Art and history

ABN AMRO is one of the oldest and largest banks of the Netherlands and over the course of time it has amassed an impressive collection of artworks and historical objects. The works of the collection are not only used to decorate the bank’s own offices but are also made available for exhibitions, loans, historical research and publications. The unique ABN AMRO collection is a reflection of the role the bank has played in society right up to the present day.

It began with a dream

There was a time when all she had was a pair of trainers on her feet and a head full of dreams. If anyone knows what it means to make a dream come true it’s Sherida Spitse, the poster girl of women’s football in the Netherlands. Fight, battle, keep going, never give up: that’s who Sherida is. And that’s what makes her a role model. Not only for women athletes reaching for the stars, but for every girl and woman with a dream.

The Netherlands is losing out on 10 billion

ABN AMRO is committed to inclusion and diversity in the workplace, towards our clients, and society at large. Nicole Reimink-Böttger is responsible for the internal diversity policy at ABN AMRO and Chantal Korteweg, Director Inclusive Banking at ABN AMRO, is focussing on different customer groups who have different customer needs. We asked them about the findings of the report and discussed how ABN AMRO is achieving its ambition to be a bank that caters to everyone’s needs.

The value of inclusivity in banking

We all have them: unconscious biases about each other. Banks have them too, towards certain groups – particularly female clients, according to surveys. So now we’re going to be the first bank in the Netherlands to do something about this. Why? Because being aware of our biases will help us better respond to the needs and wishes of our female clients. We’re launching a bank-wide programme to help us understand our female clients and give them more appropriate advice.

The benefits of gender equality

What would the Netherlands have looked like had we been gender equal in 2010? The answer is illustrated in the simulation that SEO Economic Research performed for ABN AMRO in November 2021. SEO conducted quantitative research to define what a gender-equal Netherlands would have yielded over a ten-year period spanning from 2010 to 2020. In the simulation, the total number of hours that the Dutch work is equally redistributed between men and women. As a result, there is no longer any difference in the number of hours worked.

It begins with discovering

Not every child gets the chance to participate in sports, art and culture. At ABN AMRO, we believe that all children should have the opportunity to discover. Because the more they discover, the bigger they dream.

Commitments

ABN AMRO has entered into a number of external commitments that underline our sustainability ambitions. Here are some examples:
