Nordea among the top responsible investors in the world

Nordea Asset Management (NAM) is fourth best asset manager in the world based on combined scores for responsible investment commitments and our ESG brand.

Snorre Storset, Head of Asset & Wealth Management.

“Being ranked among global leaders – and the highest in the Nordic region – for our responsible investment approach once again proves that we walk the talk.  We should all be proud of our long history of delivering attractive long-term returns, while aiming for a positive impact on society and the planet,” says Snorre Storset, head of Asset & Wealth Management.

600 asset managers across the globe evaluated

The 2024 RIBI looked at over 600 asset managers across the globe to identify leaders who “act as responsible investors and commit to sustainable development to the extent that they put it at the very heart of who they are in their brand”. NAM was ranked 4th best asset manager in the world based on a combination of two ratings: RI Brand and RI Commitment.

About RIBI – H&K Responsible Investment Brand Index

The RIBI remains the only index evaluating the asset management industry on its ability to translate commitment to sustainable development into each asset manager’s core brand, allowing for unique insights as it evaluates actual commitment against follow-through in brand architecture.

The responsible investment commitment rating, which focuses on hard factors (e.g. level and quality of listed equity voting), gave NAM the avant-gardist distinction – reached by only 20% of evaluated asset managers.
