Sustainability risk in Nordea’s remuneration policy

Good and responsible investment and insurance advice is a key part of the way we work, and it includes providing our customers with information about the potential risks involved. These risk considerations also cover the downturn effect that environmental, social or governance events can have on the value of the investment. Good and responsible investment and insurance advice is also promoted through Nordea’s variable remuneration programmes. 

Employees eligible for variable remuneration, who provide investment or insurance advice to customers, are either rewarded through specific performance goals and targets linked to good quality advice or quality of advice is considered as part of the holistic performance assessment. Independent control functions are involved in setting performance goals and targets and they provide input to individual performance assessments. Furthermore, people leaders also have performance goals linked to risk and compliance performance which require adherence to high standards in customer service and advice quality, as well as our Code of Conduct.

Similarly, variable remuneration for those making investment decisions is linked to the impact, positive and negative, that environmental, social or governance events can have on the value of the investment. There are specific performance goals and targets which link the value of the managed investments to the remuneration outcome for investment managers. Additionally, in some cases there are also specific performance goals and targets supporting sustainable investment choices. These elements support the integration of sustainability risk in investment decisions.
