Environmental and social impact

As a pioneer in green financing, Nefco only finances projects that generate positive environmental and/or climate-related impacts. We focus particularly on projects in which our financing can provide additionality, meaning that the projects may otherwise not have been realised.
We contribute to the common global and Nordic goals within the framework of our mandate. As a Nordic institution we prioritise sectors and activities in which it can add most value to the Nordic Vision 2030, but also the Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015.
We follow the EU Taxonomy for sustainable investments framework as our primary classification system to identify investment projects and our own environmental and sustainability criteria developed over the years.
