Ownership
listed on Euronext Amsterdam

In December 2005, a consortium of international financial institutions and investors purchased all the outstanding equity interests of NIB Capital. NIBC Holding was formed and NIB Capital became its wholly-owned subsidiary, while the name changed to NIBC. NIBC's complete shareholder structure can be accessed here.

NIBC, originally called the ‘Maatschappij tot Financiering van Nationaal Herstel', was founded in 1945 by the Dutch government along with a number of commercial banks and institutional investors. It was set up to provide financing for the post-World War II economic recovery of the Netherlands. Renamed De Nationale Investeringsbank (DNIB) in 1971, it was listed on the Dutch stock exchange from 1986 to 1999. In 1999, two of Europe's largest pension funds, ABP and PGGM, made a public offer for the shares of DNIB through a new joint venture, named NIB Capital N.V. They acquired a 85 percent stake, leaving the Dutch government with a minority interest of 15 percent. NIB Capital acquired these remaining shares from the Dutch State in May 2004.

NIBC offers services regarding debt and equity mezzanine, mergers & acquisitions, capitalisation advisory, leveraged finance, structured finance, research and brokerage services and capital markets solutions.

Dutch pension funds, insurers and banks not yet Paris-proof

The climate plans of the Dutch financial sector are totally insufficient to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and they do not reflect the seriousness and urgency of the climate crisis. This is evident from new research by the Fair Finance Guide Netherlands

Dutch banks fail to act on gender equality

Dutch banks still have far to go to realise gender equality in both their internal operations and their client and investee relationships. This is the conclusion of a new study conducted by SOMO for the Fair Bank Guide on the performance of seven Dutch banks.

Accountability
Grievances

NIBC supplies a complaints form which can be accessed here.

Stakeholders may also raise complaints via the OECD National Contact Points (see OECD Watch guidance). Advice on specific cases may also be requested from the NVB's Advisory Panel on Responsible Banking.

This page evaluates NIBC's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
