Veidekke: Awarded top grade for sustainability reporting

Veidekke was awarded the top grade, A+, in Position Green's annual ranking of

the sustainability reporting of the 100 largest listed companies in Norway,

Sweden and Denmark.

Veidekke achieved the top grade for the very first time, following several years

in the top tier. Of the 300 companies rated, 14 Norwegian, 4 Swedish and 1

Danish company were rated A+.

This ranking is the last in a series of favourable feedback on Veidekke's

sustainability and climate efforts. As recently as August, PWC's 2023 Climate

Index highlighted Veidekke as one of nine companies that are cutting climate

emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. The Climate Index assesses the

emission reduction efforts of Norway's 100 largest companies.

"Veidekke has set clear goals and strategies to achieve sustainability.

Documenting our work and measuring the results along the way helps us to

continuously improve our efforts towards reducing environmental impacts and

improving social conditions and governance. The fact that ESG100 rewards our

sustainability reporting with a top grade is an encouragement to keep on working

and to perform even better," says Lars Erik Lund, Executive Vice President for

Strategy and Sustainability at Veidekke ASA.

This is the sixth annual review of listed companies' sustainability reporting

from the consulting firm Position Green. The 2023 edition of ESG100 has placed

particular emphasis on the companies' readiness for the EU's new directive and

requirements for sustainability reporting, which will come into force from the

financial year 2024. ESG100 aims to give investors, companies and decision

-makers insight into how prepared Scandinavian companies are for meeting the new

EU requirements.
