Birger Steen has stepped down as Chair of the Board Operations and Sustainability Committee (BOSC) and will continue as an ordinary member.

The employees of the Nordea Group have appointed Kasper Skovgaard Pedersen as an ordinary member of the Board of Directors until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
