A pioneer in ESG: Nordea is a recognised leader in ESG and Sustainability, where we began our ESG journey over 30 years’ ago with our first sector-screened strategy in 1988. Since then, we have established a strong Responsible Investment governance framework,  and our Responsible Investments (RI) team is one of the largest in Europe.  Nordea continues to develop innovative solutions in ESG and works to deliver returns responsibly. 

Fundamental bottom-up research is our core expertise, finding fundamental inefficiencies in the market over a full investment cycle.

Our RI team created a decade ago, which is among the largest in Europe. Along with the Nordea sustainable finance team this translates into around 30 professionals focusing on sustainable finance and RI matters

Our proprietary ESG scoring model was developed in 2013 and has been continuously enhanced since then. Our model is key to understanding tomorrow’s winners. ‍

Our ESG integration is one of the most advanced in the market. The ESG profile of a company has a direct impact on our internal valuations of our holdings, highlighting the effective partnership between the RI and Portfolio Management teams.
