ESG governance

Governance is the foundation that enables us to act on the ESG agenda, which is why we constantly work to incorporate ESG principles into our governance structures. Strong governance structures not only ensure that our decisions are supported by our management but also give investors confidence in how we use proceeds and handle data.

ESG Committee

Established in December 2022, our ESG Committee sets the direction and ambitions for our environmental, social and governance initiatives – both internally and externally. The Committee oversees that ESG considerations are integrated into our managerial, operational and business development decisions. The Committee discusses and approves proposals and initiatives related to ESG and meets at least quarterly to monitor the progress and ensure that we continue to meet our high standards and goals.
