#1Nordea Green bond investor presentation February 2021#2Disclaimer 2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views with respect to certain future events and potential financial performance. Although Nordea believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that may cause such a difference for Nordea include, but are not limited to: (i) the macroeconomic development, (ii) change in the competitive climate, (iii) change in the regulatory environment and other government actions and (iv) change in interest rate and foreign exchange rate levels. This presentation does not imply that Nordea has undertaken to revise these forward-looking statements, beyond what is required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange regulations if and when circumstances arise that will lead to changes compared to the date when these statements were provided.

Nordea have two dedicated ESG teams to support the organization with research and analysis based on the Nordea ESG methodology. One team works within responsible investments and the other within lending and financing. We underpin our approach with externally sourced ESG research and ratings. This provides coverage of over 4,000 companies globally both in terms of their practices and tracking controversial issues. . • ESG analysis integrated into investments Nordea bases its investment approach on internationally recognized principles for sustainable investment and active ownership. Nordea has developed its policies, procedures and investment products to ensure that the companies we invest in all live up to various criteria of sound environmental, social and governance performance. Nordea has developed an internal ESG database available to all investment professionals. This way we assure that investment and portfolio development decisions are based on a fuller set of information - key factors to improve risk management and thereby risk-adjusted returns for our clients. After years of dedicated work with ESG analysis, Nordea has extensive experience in sustainable investments. We believe that by engaging and investing in ambitious companies, we can make a considerable difference; selecting companies with high sustainability performance and potential of generating economic value with low risk for our clients. . ESG analysis integrated into financing Nordea has built up a strong in-house ESG analysis team that supports our credit analysts and client executives to integrate ESG aspects in financing. Nordea is committed to engaging with customers on ESG matters and to understanding the challenges and opportunities customers have in their respective businesses and industries. The ESG analysis conducted in relation to our customers concludes in an ESG risk rating which is included in credit memorandums. In total, we have five ESG risk categories, ranging from low to high risk. Companies assigned a high ESG risk are escalated to a group-level credit committee which can, if deemed necessary, consult our Business Ethics and Values Committee (BEVC) - a committee that has overall responsibility for conduct and sustainability in Nordea. For companies rated in the highest risk category, long-term financing is typically offered only on specific terms.

Highlights from ISS ESG's Second Party Opinion • • . "The issuer has defined a formal concept for its Green Bonds regarding use of proceeds, processes for project evaluation and selection, management of proceeds and reporting. This concept is in line with the ICMA GBPs." "The overall sustainability quality of the asset pool in terms of sustainability benefits, risk avoidance and minimisation is good based upon the ISS ESG Green Bond KPIs...All assets of the asset pool are located in highly regulated and developed countries. Legislative frameworks in those countries set minimum standards, which reduce environmental and social risks." "The issuer itself shows a good sustainability performance and has been given a rating of C, which classifies it as 'Prime' by the methodology of the ISS ESG Corporate Rating." ISS ESG's Corporate Rating • Status: Prime • Rating: C • Decile rank: 1 • • • "As at 17.08.2020., this rating puts Nordea in place 28 out of 285 companies rated by ISS ESG in the Commercial Banks & Capital Markets sector."
