AP7 has entered into a partnership with Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) to develop a climate transition strategy as part of AP7’s transition portfolio.
The partnership with LGIM is an active investment mandate. The objective of the active mandate together with LGIM is to achieve a positive effect in companies’ climate transition and at the same time achieve long-term shareholder value. LGIM’s and AP7’s joint strategy is to identify and invest in companies that are ”climate laggards” today but that, through active ownership, have the potential to become successfully aligned with the Paris goals.

AP7 Climate Action Plan
The transition portfolio is part of AP7’s plan to contribute to attaining net zero emissions globally by 2050: AP7’s Climate Action Plan. AP7’s transition portfolio is based on the conviction that we achieve more real-world impact through increased investments and active ownership in a company with high emissions that has a longer transition ahead of them, than in a company that is already best in class. The ambition is to achieve real economic impact through globally reduced emissions. Read more in our debate article (in Swedish) in Dagens Nyheter in September 2022.
