Revision of Swedfund’s Policy for Sustainable Development
Swedfund has decided to revise its Policy for Sustainable Development. The revised policy reflects our commitment to respect all internationally recognized Human Rights and to act consistently with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Furthermore, the policy describes our commitments to gender equality, environment and climate and business ethics and good corporate governance, and lists sustainability requirements to our investments.
In line with our transparency commitment, we are keen to hear what our stakeholders think about our revised policy. Therefore, you are invited to give feedback on Swedfund’s Policy for Sustainable Development Revised 2018.
You can give your feedback via this formulary. If you want to add your comments directly to the word document, please email it to ESG@swedfund.se, not later than 14-01-2019.
