16 INSIDE NORDEA
Your ESG partner to reach net zero Ten years after the launch of the first ESG STARS fund, Christophe Girondel, Global Head of Institutional and Wholesale Distribution at Nordea Asset Management (NAM), discusses the role of ESG solutions – also against the backdrop of accelerating regulatory change.
Earlier this year, NAM’s first ESG STARS strategy, the Nordea 1 – Emerging Stars Equity Fund, celebrated its 10-year anniversary. What was the initial idea behind the launch of the strategy? Put simply, our belief at the time was that integrat- ing environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations would give us an edge in identify-
ing the corporate stars of tomorrow. Fast-forward a decade, and despite the inevitable movement in markets and personnel, our concept remains un- changed. Today, we have 17 ESG STARS strategies, both equity and fixed income, and our belief in the power of ESG integration is stronger than ever.
What is the edge of NAM’s ESG STARS range when it comes to ESG?
