Each year, NOBA donates to various community projects aligned with our commitment to social impact and sensitivity to current affairs.

External Social Sustainability

NOBA ensures our external partners and suppliers have a high standard of digital resilience. This not only bolsters operational stability but also extends ethical governance and social responsibility across the supply chain, further aligning business practices with broader sustainability goals.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union regulation designed to strengthen the digital resilience of financial institutions by ensuring they can effectively manage risks related to information and communication technology. While DORA primarily addresses ICT risk management, it also impacts social sustainability by enhancing consumer protection through the prevention of service disruptions, promoting transparency and accountability in business practices, and supporting economic stability. By adhering to DORA, NOBA demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding consumer interests, fostering trust, and contributing to the broader goals of ethical governance and social well-being within the financial sector.
