SPP launches a new quality profile for their sustainable investments. The initiative aims to facilitate sustainable investments for the consumer so that they can make smarter more sustainable fund selections. This profile was developed in collaboration with SWESIF, an independent networking forum for organizations working for or with sustainable investment, large investors, as well as other Swedish fund management companies.
Liza Jonson, CEO of SPP Fonder, commented in the company press release: “For many, the concept of sustainable investment or SRI that we in the industry call it is not entirely clear, we therefore need to simplify and become more concrete. Explain what it is we actually do. Working hard to invest responsibly is a matter of course but also a challenge, especially in certain markets.”
She continued by adding,” Recently, we launched a fund that is unique in its kind, SPP Emerging Markets SRI, a fund that invests in emerging markets, but also requiring that the companies it invests in taking environmental and social responsibility."
SPP mentioned that the sustainability profile aims to raise awareness by describing the criteria for each investment. These include issues into account environmental, social responsibility, corporate governance and business ethics.
“We are proud to be one of the companies that are first to help our customers along the way when it comes to this type of information. It is hoped that more people jumping on the bandwagon. This issue needs to go higher up the agenda. We want to help our customers with a smart, long term and sustainable savings. We will deliver long-term, high yield while helping to maintain a favorable world where we can live both now and in the future, "said Jonson.
