Voting

Making active ownership count 

We believe that sound corporate governance contributes to shareholder value and adds value to equity investments. Voting is an effective tool to influence companies in the right direction. 

Our corporate governance team is responsible for defining and executing Nordea Asset Management’s corporate governance policy. Together with our overall ESG focus areas, our corporate governance principles guide the way we vote, and in which issues we decide to engage with companies.
