    Risk Manager

  • Norinchukin Bank Europe N.V. (NBE) is a young entity within a century organisation and as such is a perfect combination between creativity and tradition. On one hand you have a solid base of the Japanese forest, agriculture and fishery industry which you can still find in our logo and on the other hand you have an innovative and dynamic local team close to the European market aiming at consolidating its sustainable footprint. At NBE, I have found a unique multicultural workplace which emphasizes and lives by its OSEC values making NBE a sort of truly international extended family. Official and informal events at individual, team or companywide level organised through the year facilitate to learn to know each other by providing an informal environment (as example I am thinking of NBE Family event, NBE Christmas celebration, NBE Golf event, NBE Ping pong tournament, Zuidas run, etc…). Such a setting gives us room to grow both personally and professionally and to aim for excellence.
