Working at Nefco
A committed team is essential to fulfil our purpose of accelerating the green transition. The Nefco team is made up of direct employees and long-term consultants, including experts in the fields of environment and investment. Our team is united by the purpose of accelerating the green transition and we aim to empower our employees to develop, both personally and professionally.
At the end of 2025, our team consisted of 67 employees in Helsinki and nine employees and full-time consultants in Kyiv. Furthermore, we are represented by long-term consultants across the Nordics.
In addition to the work carried out by our own employees, we purchase support services – such as accounting, IT, facility management and HR – from the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), with whom we share headquarters together with the Nordic Development Fund (NDF).
We offer a sustainable working environment where personal growth and skills development are encouraged and a healthy work-life balance is promoted. As an international expert organisation, we value employees’ dedication to continuous development. To support this, we regularly organise training sessions on a wide range of topics, from finance and biodiversity to time management and self-leadership.
We regularly measure employee satisfaction and current Nefco Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is 49 while the financial industry’s benchmark is 18.

Our culture and values
Since our foundation, environment and sustainability have been key to our activities. Our focus and scope have changed and evolved with the global and Nordic agenda, but our goal has always been to finance projects with a green upside.
Our purpose
We accelerate the transition to green by helping Nordic solutions scale up faster and deliver lasting value. When commercial finance is not yet available in sufficient amounts, we step in and help projects become ready for larger investment.
Our dream
We believe all capital should serve a green and resilient future. The Nordic region should lead by example showing how finance can enable the world’s most sustainable, integrated and future-ready societies that can withstand shocks and continue to thrive when conditions change around us.
Our values
Guided by our values – grow for good, ever improving, and thrive together – we focus on impact, scalability, and Nordic interest.
Our green headquarters
We strive continuously to improve our sustainability practices and decrease the environmental footprint of our internal operations. We are conscious that every small step can make a difference and we are looking for ways to keep improving in our daily work. Nefco’s headquarters in Helsinki were awarded the WWF Green Office label in 2022.
