Case Study

Norwegian Asset Management Firm

For Norway’s largest private asset manager, understanding the condition of natural systems is as much an environmental duty as a financial imperative.

This includes assessing the proximity of portfolio assets to areas of biodiversity importance and ecosystem integrity, as well as physical risks and Indigenous Lands.

Thanks to GIST Impact, this asset manager compared the nature-related performance of top 100 Norwegian companies to those of Nature Action 100 - and laid the foundations for a comprehensive integration of nature-related data into investment decision-making.
