Luxembourg, LU, 26 January, 2026 — MainStreet Partners, a leading ESG and Sustainability data provider for top-tier investors and distributors, has named Nordea Asset Management “Best Asset Manager” at its 2026 ESG & Sustainability Champions Awards.

These awards acknowledge excellence in sustainable investing and recognise asset managers and funds that have demonstrated exceptional performance in addressing ESG and Sustainability challenges.

The Fund Research team at MainStreet meticulously selected this year’s winners based on its proprietary ESG and Sustainability ratings. The 2026 evaluation covered over 10,500 strategies managed by more than 480 asset managers globally.

Nils Bolmstrand, CEO of Nordea Asset Management:

“We are extremely proud to be recognised as Best Asset Manager by MainStreet Partners. This award reflects the depth of our expertise and the strength of our long-term commitment to integrating ESG across our investment processes and portfolios.”

MainStreet Partners ESG Champions commendation is only awarded if asset managers meet or excel the strict parameters set out by Mainstreet Partners experts.

Recognized globally through multiple independent awards and rankings, NAM has proven expertise in integrating sustainability into disciplined, high-performing investment strategies. Its approach spans decarbonisation initiatives, active engagement, and tailored solutions that help clients meet their sustainability goals.
