As an investor and owner of businesses, we have the ability to make a strong positive contribution to society at large. To build successful and sustainable growing businesses, we need to ensure that we ourselves have strong governance in place, act as a gold standard employer and minimise our own negative impact on the environment. To ensure that we operate our business in a sustainable manner from both a company and a societal perspective, we monitor our performance within all ESG (environmental, social and governance) areas.
KEY FOCUS AREAS INCLUDE
Climate impact
In addition to assessing climate related risks and opportunities in our investment process and disclosing climate related data in our portfolio, Nordic Capital seeks to act as role model by measuring, acting, and increasing awareness within our own organisation.
Gender diversity
We encourage gender diversity and inclusion to ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership.
Gold standard employer
Private equity is a people business. We aim to work with leading talent. Attracting, developing, and retaining the right people is imperative to our success. We aim to be a gold standard employer and believe it is important to balance a challenging work life with good health and wellbeing.
Business ethics and compliance
Nordic Capital’s strategy, decision making, and activities is guided by Nordic Capital’s Code of Conduct, which embodies the principles of ethical, sustainable, and responsible business conduct. It serves as high level guidance on policies, and outlines the key rules, expectations, and values that govern behaviour.
