Bringing ESG inside the investment processes

Focus on active ownership
It is inside our investment processes where we can make a difference. As investors, we can influence companies to integrate sustainability into their business models, governance and reporting. We can challenge companies on their positions and influence them to address material issues. As investors, we can support companies’ development and growth.
Sustainable investment is about taking responsibility. We believe it is more sustainable to address ESG matters when issues of concern or risks arise, rather than divest from companies and leave problems to be solved by others. Our investment teams are the change agents who can impact how companies address and manage their ESG risks and opportunities.

As long-term investors with in-depth knowledge of the Norwegian stock market, we can leverage active ownership to influence companies and make a difference.
Lars Erik MoenSenior Portfolio Manager

We believe that companies with high ESG scores or positive ESG score trajectories, should generate higher risk-adjusted returns than those with low scores because these companies should have lower risks related to funding, markets and products.
