Wästbygg Gruppen receives Nasdaq Green Equity Designation
Wästbygg Gruppen is among the first companies in Sweden to apply for and receive Nasdaq Green Equity Designation. Nasdaq offers Nasdaq Green Designations for its Nordic Main Markets and First North Growth Market, including the Premier Segment, in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.
The designation will support increased visibility toward investors looking for sustainable investments. Nasdaq Green Equity Designation targets companies that have over 50 percent of their turnover derived from activities considered green and continue to invest a significant share in green activities. Turnover derived from fossil fuel activities must be less than 5 percent. For the application, a qualitative assessment is done of the company’s alignment with the Nasdaq Green Equity Principles by a Nasdaq approved reviewer. Currently approved reviewers are Cicero Shades of Green and V.E, a part of Moody’s ESG Solutions.
