Sustainability

Good companies act responsibly. We see that responsibility is a prerequisite for sustainable value creation, and sustainability assessment is therefore always part of our investment decision.

Responsible investing

Responsible investing means that the environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are considered in investment activities.

We see that companies that operate responsibly are more profitable in the long term and have a better risk profile than companies that do not act responsibly. The principles of responsible investment are considered both in our discretionary asset management portfolios and in our mutual funds.

In addition, we aim to identify structural changes and trends in sustainable development. We invest in companies that promote e.g., renewable energy, circular economy, and water efficiency. We have been cornerstone investors in sustainable development companies’ IPOs.
