As the state-managed option for the Swedish premium pension system, AP7 is expected to invest responsibly without compromising its goal of high returns.
Investments
AP7 only invests in companies that abide by international conventions signed by Sweden in human rights, environmental and labour protection and related areas.
The United Nations plays an important role in assessing companies in this context, reporting on countries and companies that violate international conventions.
Businesses that operate in Sweden must comply with Swedish law.
Exclusion
Our ethical and environmental policy is aimed not at blacklisting companies but at promoting change.
We will exclude a company from our investment portfolio for five years if:
- A court has issued a judgement against it
- A public body monitoring an international convention publishes documentation identifying the company for treaty violations
- The company's management admits criminal activity, or
- We decide exclusion is the right course of action
In line with Swedish government policy, AP7 does not invest in companies we believe are involved in developing and producing nuclear weapons.
