We strive to invest sustainably across all asset classes. In order to keep up with our ambition, we incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our investment processes, for example through our exclusion policy, research, corporate and country analysis, asset manager selection, monitoring and risk management. We firmly believe that considering ESG factors in investment management is not a short-term trend, but will change business in the long run.
