Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) We became a member of the Global Impact Investing Net- work (GIIN), gaining access to valuable resources, networking opportunities with leading investors, and the ability to shape the impact investing industry. This initiative and framework guide our impact assessment, reporting, and overall invest- ment process, ensuring we contribute effectively to solving global issues while signaling credibility. Operating Principles for Impact Management (OPIM) We have signed on the Operating Principles for Impact Man- agement (OPIM). The Impact Principles provide a common framework for shaping and aligning with industry best prac- tices and promote transparency, discipline, and credibility for impact management practice in capital markets. There are nine Operating Principles for Investment Management (the “Principles”) which offer investors a comprehensive set of rig - orous practices that guide the integration of impact.

As an OPIM signatory, NAM has aligned its Global Impact Strategy with the principles and commits to annual disclosure statements. Independent verification ensures compliance, pro - moting transparency and credibility in impact investing. This practice supports the growth of responsible investing while maintaining integrity and external credibility in the market.

By participating in this global initiative, we aim to contribute to greater clarity, discipline and accountability to the field of impact investing. Nils Bolmstrand, CEO, Nordea Asset Management
