Bæredygtige danske aktier
Du kan finde listen over verdens mest bæredygtige aktier i 2024 nederst i denne artikel. Danmark har tradition for at have flere aktier på listen, hvilket er tilfældet igen i 2024. I 2022 havde vi fem virksomheder på listen, sidste år havde vi seks virksomheder på listen og i 2024 har vi igen seks virksomheder på listen. Vi finder dog en ny dansk aktie på listen i 2024, efter Rockwool ikke er at finde på listen i år.
Novo Nordisk har nemlig fundet vej til bæredygtighedstoppen, og indtager en placering som nr. 53, efter Novo Nordisk ikke var at finde på listen sidste år. Derfor er Danmarks største folkeaktie nu også at finde blandt de mest bæredygtige selskaber i verden ifølge denne liste fra Corporate Knights.
Den mest bæredygtige danske aktie er igen Vestas Wind Systems. I 2022 var Vestas faktisk verdens mest bæredygtige virksomhed, efter de var nr. 1 på denne liste. I 2023 indtog Vestas en andenplads, mens de i 2024 indtager en tredjeplads over verdens mest bæredygtige aktier, og dermed er Danmarks bedst placerede aktie på listen. Derefter kommer Chr. Hansen på 8. pladsen, Ørsted på 17. pladsen, Novo Nordisk på 53. pladsen, Novozymes på 58. pladsen og Coloplast på 78. pladsen. Nordea er også at finde blandt top-100, men er et finsk selskab, dog med stor en aktivitet og notering i Danmark.
På listen over de mest bæredygtige aktier 2024 finder vi desuden velkendte virksomheder som Tesla, NIO, Puma, Samsung, HP, Apple, Unilever, Orkla og AstraZeneca. Virksomheder som Siemens Gamesa, Alphabet, Adidas og Pfizer er røget ud af listen, efter de var blandt de mest bæredygtige aktier sidste år.
