The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) requires financial institutions to be transparent about sustainability characteristics and objectives. SFDR provides a clear framework for what must be disclosed regarding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics. For each product, we publish pre-contractual information in Annex II or III and risk-related information on the website. Each year, we report on the results in Annex IV or V. You can find all this information here.
In addition, we publish the PAI Statement annually. In this statement, we describe the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors and explain how we aim to prevent or mitigate these impacts. In our investment decisions, we take into account the most significant adverse effects on sustainability factors. This aligns with our Responsible Investment Policy: we consider people, the environment, society, and future generations when making investment decisions. You can find a.s.r. vermogensbeheer’s PAI Statement here.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires large companies to report on material ESG topics. Since a.s.r. is subject to this obligation, a.s.r. vermogensbeheer also reports on its material impacts, risks, and opportunities. For a.s.r. vermogensbeheer, biodiversity, climate, and workers in the value chain are considered material topics. For the first time, we reported in 2024 on our targets, policies, and actions related to these themes. The CSRD report is included in chapter 6 of a.s.r.’s annual report, which you can find here.
