Background: The Scope Foundation was set up to protect the European identity and independence of Scope Group. While the Board of Trustees warrants the achievement of the purpose of the foundation – including the management of its assets – and ensures continuity among the shareholders, the Honorary Board is dedicated to represent and foster the concept of the European Rating Agency.
The Nordic region has been one of the most important parts of Europe for Scope's development for many years, with our office in Oslo set up in 2017. The Oslo office serves as the hub for Scope’s operations in the Nordic and Baltic regions for its rating services on financial institutions, companies, covered bonds, structured and project finance as well as sovereign and public sector institutions.
