Danske Bank sets big new sustainable investment target

By 2023, more than 80 percent of assets managed by Danske Bank on behalf of its customers must be invested in sustainability themes.
"We want to put pressure on ourselves by setting specific goals for short, medium and long-term investments. Already in 2023, we want up to 70 percent of our assets under management and 85 percent our assets in Dansk Invest funds to be invested within themes of sustainability. We think this is a reasonable target," says Danske Bank Asset Management Chief Executive Christian Heiberg. | Photo: Danske Bank/PR
