Sustainability

India Trading Nordic believe that an effective sustainable strategy will be central for all companies in India going forward. Integrating sustainability into strategy, management and performance measurement is essential for long term growth, and there is a need to also deliver on the expectations of investors, regulators, employees, consumers, and civil society.

To achieve the goals by 2030, there is a need for investments of $5-7 trillion annually at a global level, of which approximately $4 trillion in developing countries.

India’s financing gap after accounting for government spending is estimated to $565 billion annually. Approximately 50% of these stem from 3 SDGs:

SDG 8 ( jobs and economic growth)
SDG 11 (sustainable cities)
SDG 5 (gender equality)

One area of special interest is Impact investing, since it is particularly well suited to help mobilise the much needed private capital due to its alignment with the SDG priorities. We will work together with our partners to do steady improvement on all levels of sustainability. This includes both asset management, startups and consultancy services.
