Key commitments
Solutions
We aim to direct more funding to companies that contribute to the SDGs, and aim by 2025 for 15 percent of our AUM to be invested in companies we define as SDG Solutions companies.
Emissions
We aim to have a Net Zero portfolio by 2050, with an intermediate goal of reducing total portfolio emissions by 60 percent by 2030.
Science-based targets
We aim to invest 42 percent of AUM in the listed equity and corporate fixed income of companies with validated science-based targets by 2027.
Biodiversity
As a signatory to the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge, we are committed to collaborating and sharing knowledge, engaging with companies, assessing impact, setting targets and reporting publicly on biodiversity by 2025.
Deforestation
By 2025 we aim to have an investment portfolio that does not contribute to commodity-driven deforestation. We are doing this by screening our portfolios and engaging with companies and governments in systematic efforts to achieve zero deforestation and zero conversion of forests for production of commodities.
Our focus areas are:
- Mining activity
- Agricultural production of several commodities: palm oil, soy, cattle products and timber, cocoa, rubber and coffee.
Living wages
We are committed to ensuring that by 2030 living wages are acknowledged by companies in certain target sectors in our portfolios.
Human rights
We are committed to ensuring that by 2030 the companies in our portfolios are substantially aligned with the UN guiding principles on human rights.
