Sustainability at Nordea Group
Nordic values are an essential part of Nordea Asset Management’s (NAM) business culture, guiding us in everything we do.
Sustainability is embedded across Nordea Group’s business strategy, backed by measurable targets, strong governance, and a broad sustainability offering. Nordea Group has long and solid experience within Sustainable Finance and at NAM, we are fully committed to – and actively working on – making the financial sector more sustainable. As a leading Nordic bank, we have the capacity to support the transition to net zero – via our customer offerings, through our lending and investment decisions and by reducing the emis- sions from our internal operations and supply chain. Therefore, our business objective is to achieve net-zero emissions across our value chain in terms of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by the end of 2050 at the latest. In addition to our net-zero commit- ment for 2050, we see interim targets as essential components of the global effort to limit warming to 1.5°C. We have therefore
established objectives to reduce emissions across both our lending and investment portfolios as well as our internal opera- tions by the end of 2030. Nordea Group’s sustainability work is led by the Group Sustain- ability team. This includes everything from setting and meeting our internal sustainability targets, from resource usage to diversity, and also integrating sustainable considerations into the products and services across the Group. At NAM level, the Responsible Investment (RI) team carries out research on the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects into our investments. The two boxes below summarise some of Nordea Group’s key sustainability metrics. More information about Nordea Group’s sustainability efforts can be found in Nordea’s Annual Report 2025.
