Voting
Making active ownership count
Voting is an effective tool to influence companies in the right direction. We believe that sound corporate governance contributes to shareholder value and adds value to equity investments.
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.
To see how we are voting, visit our Voting portal. You can also read more in our reports.
