Sustainable Edge: Investing in the transition – with Jan Erik Saugestad, Storebrand Asset Management

In this episode

Jan Erik Saugestad shares his candid views on the role of investors in navigating today's sustainability landscape — from the limitations of exclusion to the power of long-term engagement. With over €120 billion under management, Storebrand's approach is rooted in the belief that sustainability isn't a trade-off — it's a strategic advantage.

Learn about:

  • Sustainable returns in a polarized world – How Storebrand is balancing investment risk with values, even as global commitments to sustainability diverge.

  • The power of influence – Why nudging companies (and governments) can be more effective than divestment alone.

  • The evolving ESG data dilemma – How to avoid investing only in good reporters, and instead focus on real-world impact.

  • Nature, net-zero and next steps – How Storebrand is working to integrate biodiversity risks and solutions across its investment universe.

  • Why values matter – How standing firm on sustainability is not just the right thing to do — it's a competitive advantage in today's market.
