Our policy

Responsible investment

In our investment policy, we carefully consider the positive and negative impacts of our investments on people and the environment, while maintaining a focus on investment returns. We invest in accordance with our Responsible Investment Policy, which sets out the sustainability criteria for the investments we manage. This policy outlines how we strive to generate positive impact, drive change, and mitigate negative effects. We do this with the aim of managing key sustainability risks and limiting the adverse impacts of investment decisions on people and the environment. For more information, see Responsible Investment Policy.

Companies and countries 

We exclude countries and companies that do not meet the ESG criteria as described in the Responsible Investment Policy. This means, for example, that we do not invest in companies that are active in tobacco, gambling, and coal mining. For other investments, we apply so-called ‘threshold values’, which determine which companies we do or do not invest in. For example, companies that derive a large part of their turnover from electricity production from coal and nuclear energy are excluded. We also do not invest in companies and countries that do not treat working conditions and/or human rights properly. For more information, see  Excluded companies and Excluded countries.

Covenants and initiatives

We believe it is important to demonstrate that our role as a sustainable investor is not without obligation and to report transparently on what we do. We are also keen to join sector-wide initiatives to increase our impact wherever possible. Read more in Covenants and Initiatives.
