Climate change: Nordea, Methane engagement initiative

As signatories to the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, Nordea Asset Management prioritised methane emissions in its stewardship efforts, recognising methane’s critical role in climate change mitigation. Starting in 2022, Nordea initiated a three-year collaborative engagement targeting companies across energy, utilities, and waste management sectors. With nearly 20 investors representing over EUR 3.7tn AUM, Nordea actively encouraged companies to adopt the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard. By 2024, fourteen companies joined OGMP 2.0, committing to substantial methane reductions by 2030. Nordea continues to drive progress through direct engagement, workshops, and improved methane emission reporting standards. This initiative won a PRI award for ‘Recognition for Action – Climate’ in 2024.
