Our approach

As an institutional investor, we strive to play a leading role in responsible investment within the financial sector. For us, responsible investment is not an end in itself, but a means of creating long-term value for all stakeholders. By systematically applying ethical and sustainability criteria, we take our social responsibility seriously.

Three key objectives

Our investment approach is based on three key objectives:

1. Creating positive impact by investing in companies and projects that contribute to a more sustainable world; 
   
   
2. Encouraging change through dialogue with companies and policymakers to promote responsible behavior and sustainable entrepreneurship;
   
   
3. Reducing negative impact by excluding companies and countries that do not comply with the Responsible Investment Policy.

The focus themes

These objectives are supported by four focus themes that guide our investment policy: 

• Climate change & Energy transition
  
  
• Biodiversity & Natural Resources
  
  
• Health & Well-being
  
  
• Human Rights

With this integrated approach, we not only want to create sustainable value for our customers, but also contribute to a better world. Transparency, responsibility, and a long-term vision are at the core of this approach.
