Go to Home PageOur journey into sustainable investments began over 30 years ago with our
first ESG product. At Nordea, returns and responsibility matter.
Our ESG STARS funds seek to find tomorrow’s sustainable investments with 3 key objectives:
Beat the benchmark*
Invest in companies living up to ESG standards
Create impact
*There can be no warranty that an investment objective, targeted returns and results of an investment structure is achieved. The value of your investment can go up and down, and you could lose some or all of your invested money.
