Our purpose and strategy
Together, our purpose, ambition and strategic commitments reflect why we exist as a company.
Our purpose
We help people care for what matters most to them.
For more than 175 years, our company has merged, grown and changed, but the core of who we are has remained the same. At NN, we put our resources, expertise, and networks to use for the well-being of our customers, the advancement of our communities, the preservation of our planet, and for the promotion of a stable, inclusive, and sustainable economy.
Our purpose is to help people care for what matters most to them. Because what matters to them matters to us.
