Sustainability

Swedbank Robur invest in a large number of companies, both in Sweden and abroad. Together we can contribute to sustainable development as your money can make an impact.

As part of our financial analysis, we identify companies' sustainability risks and opportunities for improvement. We exclude some companies for sustainability reasons, but our main principle is to remain as owner and use our ability to influence.

We want to influence companies we own to continuously improve within the areas of the environment and climate change, human rights, labour standards and business ethics. We also want to influence companies to have good corporate governance. We have signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, PRI.
