Introduction

The Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) at the Stockholm School of Economics is Sweden´s national research center in financial economics. It provides the infrastructure to enable financial research and development of highest quality. The center serves as an independent platform where academia, private and public financial sector can exchange knowledge, foster new ideas and gain access to a global network of the most prominent researchers in finance.

Nordic Compass

The Nordic Compass research tool empowers researchers to analyze the medium- and long-term value creation potential of publicly-traded Nordic companies. It employs a proprietary framework developed to identify opportunities and risks, to assess the sustainable business performance capabilities for hundreds of companies.

SHoF acquired the Nordic Compass database in 2019 from Resility AB, a Stockholm-based company that focuses on sustainability consulting and corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research. The Nordic Compass provides key financial and sustainability metrics, derived from approximatley 100 data points, as well as a company summary and detailed description of material focus areas.
