Focus areas

Gender equality and diversity

Gender equality and diversity was established as a sustainability focus area for AP6’s in 2015 – both in investment activities and withing the AP6 organisation itself. Since 2016 gender equality and diversity, is a mandatory element in assessing and monitoring investments. Before making an investment and during the ownership phase, AP6 asks how gender equality and diversity among fund managers and companies is promoted.

Climate

Climate change and the societal transition affects investments in almost all sectors. With the longterm assignment to contribute to a system that will safeguard pensions for many generations to come, climate is a major priority. Climate has been a focus area since 2015 and is a mandatory element when reviewing and monitoring investments. AP6’s main climate impact comes from the investment portfolio. The portfolio is also most affected by climate change.

Human rights

The human rights focus area was established in 2021 to develop AP6’s social sustainability efforts with a vision that international human rights frameworks will be applied as a standard practice in the investment process and ownership phase in private equity.

The reporting of the sustainability work is integrated in the annual report. In the table of contents, sustainability is marked with the letter S.
