Powerful Investments, Impactful Results
Over the past year, we have taken more important steps towards firmly embedding and driving ESG aspects of sustainability in our company and in the portfolios. In our 2023 Sustainability Report, we take you on a sustainability journey and provide comprehensive insights into ESG-related progress, targets and key performance indicators (KPIs).

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
Global challenges are becoming increasingly complex and require us to take coordinated action. Committing to various ESG initiatives and principles such as the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and Level 20 gives us clear guidelines for responsible investment and helps us to continually rethink our strategies and practices. Together with our Code of Conduct, these commitments serve as guidance for our responsible management integrating ESG principles.
OUR RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT STRATEGY
We continually revise the NORD Holding Responsible Investment Policy (RI Policy) to ensure that we meet our sustainability targets. A further comprehensive revision of our RI policy was carried out in July 2024 to ensure that ESG aspects are taken into account in all investment decisions.

DOUBLE MATERIALITY ANALYSIS
As part of the systematic continuation of our sustainability work, we carried out a double materiality analysis in accordance with the CSRD in September 2023, which allowed us to fully assess and identify environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues at NORD Holding and within our portfolio. This materiality analysis enabled us to systematically define the relevance and impact of various issues in the three main action areas and identify the ESG issues that are most relevant to our company and stakeholders.
Seven material topics in the Environmental, Social and Governance & Strategy action areas form the core of our sustainability work at NORD Holding and serve as our compass, impacting our day-to-day interactions, shaping our corporate culture and driving our sustainability efforts.
We have also determined material topics at portfolio level as part of a double materiality analysis. Alongside climate action, other topics such as diversity, equity & inclusion and sustainable supply chain are in particular focus. All material topics as well as targets, actions and KPIs are described in detail in our 2023 Sustainability Report.
MANAGING SUSTAINABILITY
The material topics at company and portfolio level not only bolster our long-term competitiveness and resilience but also make a positive contribution to our portfolio companies, society and the environment. Diversifying our portfolio by company size and sector requires both a customized approach and consistent support. We provide stewardship at all levels and support our portfolio in achieving specific targets and measures and tracking them using concrete key performance indicators (KPIs).
