Water risk – a growing concern for investors

Environmental risks are becoming more and more tangible. In the aftermath of the historic drought that unfolded 2018 in South Africa, Sasja Beslik, Head of Sustainable Finance at Nordea, decided to take a closer look at the causes and consequences of the water crisis an see for himself how the companies that Nordea invest in are tackling the water issues they are facing. As investors, our intention is to influence investors as well as banking communities to demonstrate better visibility of their water-related risks in order to protect our customers’ long-term assets.
