Foreword

The Dutch banking sector can and wants to contribute to societal developments. Banks strive for a strong, safe, and reliable financial system and play an important role as gatekeeper in preventing abuse and financing of terrorism.

They also play an important role in the sustainable development of society. They contribute to financial health and financial inclusion with a broadly accessible range of services and products that reflect the differences between people – whether that’s differences in age, gender, religion, education or cultural background.

In a context of fragile geopolitical circumstances, uncertain economic conditions and a tight labour market, banks focus on being attractive employers, increasing labour productivity, and offering modern and flexible terms of employment.

The employees participating in the CLA Banks are diverse, and roughly two thirds of them work for a bank who's head office is located outside the Netherlands. The CLA Banks provides a framework that reflects market conditions and allows for this diversity, and also offers room for specific employer agreements. This contributes to a robust and flexible banking industry in the Netherlands.
