Responsible investments

At ATP, we make every effort to take care of the Danish people’s money and to grow their savings responsibly. We integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into our investment process and strive to generate the highest return.

Sustainability Strategy

ATP’s sustainability strategy sets the framework for ATP’s efforts in the field of sustainability, taking into account the role ATP plays in the Danish pension system.

We are a stable and leading player, grounded in data, knowledge, and insight, contributing to creating real impact on the world’s sustainability challenges, based on our purpose of delivering good and stable pensions.

ATP’s business model defines how our investments can contribute to addressing long-term and complex sustainability challenges, with active ownership as the primary tool for creating real improvements for the benefit of ATP’s investments and society.

We aim for all ATP’s portfolio companies to improve over time relative to their own starting point across ATP’s three sustainability themes: green transition, working conditions, and governance practices.

To credibly monitor companies’ progress, we have selected specific, data-supported guidelines for each of the three themes. We will continuously track developments in these guidelines and engage in dialogue with companies that are not moving in a positive direction on a given guideline.

Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

At ATP, in line with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, we report on our sustainability risks and negative impacts. View ATP’s report on Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (in danish).

ATP’s policy for responsibility in investments is based on international conventions and agreements for responsible business conduct. The policy states that ATP makes ongoing efforts to implement responsibility considerations in line with considerations for other business conditions and risks. We screen all potential investments and only invest in companies that act in line with our requirements and policies. This is called ESG due diligence. 

 

Policies for responsibility

Our Supervisory Board has created three policies that determine the framework for how we invest responsibly at ATP. The aim of the policies is to ensure that ATP’s work on responsibility in investments is business-driven and based on stringent criteria.

Active ownership

At ATP, we actively investigate how the companies, we invest in, act and develop. We use this knowledge and insight to influence the companies - both via direct dialogues with the companies and by voting at their annual general meetings.
