Sustainable transition

DNB must be a driving force for sustainable transition.

One of DNB's core strategic ambitions is to deliver sustainable value creation by generating profitable growth and making choices that will stand the test of time. To fulfil this ambition, we will support our customers through the climate transition, reduce ESG risk in our portfolios and proactively engage with external stakeholders. DNB's three sustainability ambitions, launched in 2021, set out in detail how we must achieve this.

Our transition plan is a continuation of the sustainability ambitions launched in 2021.The plan was launched in 2023, updated in 2025, and is an important strategic tool that helps us understand the business implications of our net-zero ambition., and to navigate the challenges and opportunities that climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy present. The plan describes how we at DNB must drive the transition, and the tools we have at hand to engage with and guide our customers and the companies we invest in to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
