Our social
impact
Social impact is at the heart of our business model. Our investments and decisions shape infrastructure and create space for communities to thrive.
The social aspects of our business
-
Though our portfolio of care homes, senior housing, and similar social assets, we contribute to the social infrastructure in the Nordics and provide good living and care environments.
-
In the Nordic region, a rapidly ageing population has increased the need for new aged care facilities. Since 2007, we have contributed good quality living conditions for elerly and seniors through our five healthcare funds. And through the special initiative, Forum for Fremtidens Ældrevelfærd, we are actively debating societal solutions to elderly welfare and elderly care challenges.
-
Our properties are more than buildings—they are homes for seniors, elders, and others with care needs, as well as workplaces for care professionals. As a result, our investment decisions, including those related to building improvements and amenities, have a direct and lasting impact on the health, well-being, and quality of life of the many people who live and work in our communities.
Our healthcare funds contribute positively in the social characteristics space by providing modern, purpose built care homes to enhance the wellbeing of senior citizens in a rapidly aging population in the Nordics
Examples of shareholder engagement
Tenant dialogue
As an asset owner, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with our tenants is essential to understanding how we can best support them and provide high-quality physical environments.
Across our asset classes, asset managers and property managers maintain close relationships with tenants, working collaboratively to enhance our properties and address issues promptly and effectively.
To ensure continuous improvement, we conduct tenant satisfaction surveys at least annually and use the insights gained to prioritize and implement targeted improvements.
Investor communication
At Northern Horizon, we believe that transparency and open dialogue are essential to maintaining strong relationships with our investors.
In addition to meeting all applicable reporting and disclosure requirements, we ensure that investors are kept regularly informed about market developments, new investments, the fund’s financial and ESG performance, and other events that may affect the fund’s activities.
Each fund is supported by an advisory board comprising investor representatives, providing a forum to actively engage in the development of the fund, discuss strategic topics, and test new ideas.
Northern Horizon as a workplace
We seek to be an inclusive workplace. Our team has an equal representation of women and men; we support diversity and we are committed to equal opportunities and non-discrimination at work.
We support the continuous development of our employees and career growth by yearly performance guidance and training. We encourage an open communication and dialogue in the workplace.
We strive for employee satisfaction and encourage employees to share opinions and areas for improvement to enable Northern Horizon to be an even better place to work in the future.
