Increasing the financial, physical & mental well-being of our communities
NN Community Investment, is a programme committed to enhancing both the financial well-being and physical and mental health of communities in all NN markets. We believe that with dedicated support and the right resources, people that are under pressure or at risk can emerge from a seemingly hopeless situation into a brighter future. By offering this help and cooperating with local partners, we aim to create a society in which everyone can participate and thrive. Our Community Investment Impact Framework gives more details on our approach.
Supporting financial well-being
The key to financial well-being is the feeling of control over one’s personal financial situation. We aim to improve people’s ability to meet financial obligations, increase their confidence in their financial future and improve their ability to succeed in work and life.
We invest in financial literacy projects where people can improve their skills and knowledge to make informed decisions about their finances. From how to live with debt, to budget coaching and to dealing with creditors. We also help people to increase their income, either by finding a (better) job, reducing their expenses or gaining access to grants and welfare.
Another focus area in our work is to equip young people with tools, training and networking skills to increase their readiness for school, career and life. For example, through out-of-school opportunities that aim to broaden their horizons, giving them an insight into careers they may never have considered, study opportunities they did not know existed or networks that would otherwise never have been available to them.
Supporting physical and mental well-being
When it comes to physical and mental health, we provide access to quality healthcare and promote social engagement to reduce loneliness and feelings of isolation. We believe these are integral components of physical and mental well-being and help ensure people can live happy and self-sufficient lives.
In line with the focus areas of our core business, we are committed to providing access to good quality healthcare and, where possible, enabling people to receive care in the comfort of their own homes. We also support initiatives that help elderly individuals stay socially active and engaged.
At the same time, we invest in initiatives that promote mental well-being for future generations. Across the countries where we operate, we have established partnerships that reflect these priorities. For example, in Poland and Spain, we support initiatives that offer cancer support and address loneliness and depression.
