Responsible investments

In addition to climate change being an increasing societal problem, it also poses an economic risk to our investments. Therefore, we have set a goal to have a target-neutral investment portfolio by 205, in line with the Paris Agreement. 
 
At Velliv, we believe that we best contribute to solutions in collaboration with other investors. This includes a committed partnership with the Paris Agreement Investment Initiative. Additionally, we’ve joined the Science Based Targets initiative, a globally recognized standard that ensures scientific validation of the participating companies’ CO2e reduction targets in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Velliv was the first commercial pension company in Denmark to have our SBTi targets approved. 

Many companies rely on natural resources such as crops, timber and soil, whose quality and availability depend on healthy and diverse biodiversity. At the same time, companies themselves impact biodiversity through their operations. This creates a complex relationship between the consumption of natural resources and their degradation. 
 
As investors in these companies, we are exposed to the same risks. We aim to contribute to protecting and restoring nature's diversity through our investments. We joined the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge (FfB Pledge) in 2022 and identified areas of action to reduce the risk of biodiversity loss for our investments in 2024.

Active ownership involves various forms of attempts to influence companies to change their behaviour or develop in a more sustainable manner. As an investor and active owner, we continuously engage in dialogue with companies about their actions. Additionally, we vote at their general meetings to express our opinions and influence companies. In this way, we ensure that your interests are best taken care of.
