ikkefinansielle

Ikkefinansielle is a Norwegian term used to describe information, metrics, or factors that are not financial in nature. The word is built from ikke, meaning not, and finansielle, the plural form of financial. In practice, ikkefinansielle data or analysis covers anything outside monetary results, such as environmental impact, social outcomes, governance practices, and other non-monetary considerations.

It is commonly used in business reporting, risk management, and research to separate non-financial considerations from traditional financial performance. In corporate disclosures, ikkefinansielle information often encompasses ESG metrics, sustainability indicators, human capital, safety statistics, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder relations.

Context matters: the term is descriptive rather than a formal financial category, and its exact scope can vary by industry, country, and regulatory regime. In many cases, ikkefinansielle factors are integrated with financial metrics to provide a broader assessment of value creation and risk.

Language notes: in Norwegian, the more common compound form is ikke-finansiell or ikke-finansielle, while ikkefinansielle appears in some usage as a neutral descriptor. The English equivalent is non-financial or non-financial information.
