We are proud to see that Nordic has been added to the STOXX Global ESG Leaders Index after the 2021 index review by Qontigo.

The STOXX Global ESG Leaders Index contains the companies that score the highest with regards to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) indicators. Each part of E, S and G has its sub-index, while ESG Leaders is a combination of all these components.

This time, Nordic Semiconductor is included in the index. This means the index consists of the following Norwegian headquartered companies: DNB Bank, Nordic Semiconductor, Norsk Hydro, Storebrand, Equinor, Yara, Schibsted and Orkla.

To be included here is a great acknowledgement regarding our work in general and ESG in particular. The index has quickly risen to become an important factor for the market in choosing investment objects, and this is great news for Nordic and our customers, employees and investors
