Social empowerment. Empower your future.
Building a sustainable and resiliant society has never been more important: the Covid-19 pandemic is having a devastating impact on our societies and highlights the urgent need to focus more on social issues. These include access to healthcare, education and affordable housing to name a few. We can all play an important role to address these issues.
ESG Champions Award 2022
N1 – Global Social Empowerment Fund winner in the category Best Social Thematic Fund, by MainStreet Partners.
Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified by the UN in 2015, 64% are dedicated to Social Empowerment. The SDGs aim to build a future sustainable society in which people can prosper from a resourceful and protected planet, live in a more equal and fair society, and benefit from social, economical and technological innovation.
Never before has the “S” in ESG been more central to reach these aims.
17 goals
which embody the framework to achieve a more sustainable world by 2030
64%
of them are dedicated to
Social Empowerment
$ 5-7 trillion investment needed
per year to achieve the goals*
Acting on the “S” makes economic sense too. An estimated annual investment of USD 5-7trn is needed to bridge this social gap – a huge opportunity for businesses.
Nordea’s newly launched Nordea 1 – Global Social Empowerment Fund turns the spotlight onto companies that can offer solutions to the growing social challenges.
