Nordic investors also mitigated environmental risks in 68 cases (20.86%) and achieved their engagement objective in 26 cases. In 24 cases (7.36%), Nordic investors sought to reduce the corruption risk, and in 9 cases, the target companies agreed with the recommended changes.Table 1Norm areas of engagement dialogue
