Are the companies you invest in respecting human rights?
War and violence, social inequality, extreme weather conditions, and poverty are forcing people to live and work under unbearable conditions. Human rights were launched to avoid this and to protect the lives of all humans. This is how Nordea strives to ensure that your investments are not even in long global supply chains contributing to ignorance or violation of human rights.
