Norvestor Sustainability Objectives

  • Reduce greenhouse gases

    Reducing the carbon footprint of all portfolio companies is a core objective for Norvestor, and all portfolio companies are required to report underlying data for their carbon emissions (scope 1,2 and 3) and other detailed information on their environmental footprint annually regardless of whether this is material for the companies or not.

  • Reduce climate-related risks and capture risk-reduction opportunities

    The portfolio’s exposure to climate risks is low and are not expected to carry high financial consequences for the portfolio companies, but Norvestor has committed to continuously measuring climate-related risks and opportunity of all companies at least annually. Norvestor follows the recommendations set out by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

  • Ensure a diverse and inclusive workforce

    Norvestor is committed to equal opportunities ensuring that management acknowledges employees’ needs and that their perspectives are considered. We support companies in implementing policies and practices and fostering diverse cultures at all levels of the organisation, that always respect human rights.

  • Create safe and attractive workplaces

    Norvestor aims to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all employees to create attractive workplaces where employees feel valued and where they can bring out the best in themselves.

  • Reduce non-compliance risk

    Norvestor aims to ensure well-defined and established compliance processes and practices in all portfolio companies. Norvestor have formed a policy package to offer companies templates for policies and procedures that go beyond compliance with the latest regulations and standards.

  • Transparency and reporting

    Norvestor support all portfolio companies to foster a culture of transparency and accountability on ESG notably providing regular reporting on sustainability.

  • Identify positive contribution to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

    The SDGs present a clear opportunity for businesses to align their products and services to address the world’s biggest sustainable development challenges. This allows Norvestor to help companies identify how they can help achieve these goals, both by limiting the negative impact as well as identifying the positive impacts.

We work continuously with our portfolio companies to improve their impact on the world and society through more sustainable business practices. We also invest in companies with innovative solutions to global challenges. It’s a partnership approach that puts people at the heart of everything we do: our team, the management and employees of companies we invest in, and their customers.
