BACKGROUND

Sustainability is an important focus area for Danish enterprises. Focus on sustainability matters is not only an expectation from stakeholders, but is also becoming an increasingly regulated area where enterprises become subject to enhanced requirements, including with respect to reporting and governance.

In this presentation we provide an introduction to key trends related to sustainability governance and reporting by offering examples and statistics from Danish OMXC251 companies (the "Companies") for the financial year 2021.

The presentation is based on publicly available information found in the Companies' sustainability reports for the financial year 2021.2 The information provided by the Companies has not been independently verified, and direct comparison among the Companies is, at times, not possible owing to different terminology, focus and structure.
