Swedbank Robur reaches its first climate target
Swedbank Robur today publishes its Climate and Nature Report for 2025. During the year, the company reached an important milestone: its total fund assets are now managed in line with the Paris Agreement. The result reflects several years of work to integrate climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities into investments, as well as active ownership.
"It has required a strong work effort and a high level of commitment within the organization over several years, and I am so proud that we are now collectively moving from targets to delivery. I would also like to especially highlight how our specialists in the team have had the courage to think in new ways and drive the work forward, not least in an early stage when the lack of high-quality data and shared standards posed a major challenge. We have now reached our first milestone together, and our total fund capital is managed in line with the Paris Agreement. This demonstrates that a consistent strategy can transform ambition into measurable results", says Pia Gisgård, Head of Sustainability and Governance," says Pia Gisgård, Head of Sustainability and Corporate Governance at Swedbank Robur.
2025 in brief:
- The total fund assets are managed in line with the Paris Agreement
- 58% lower carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) in our equity and corporate bond funds since 2019
- 38% of assets under management in equities, corporate bonds and covered bonds are aligned with or transitioning toward net zero (37% in 2024)
- 8.6% of assets under management in equities and corporate bonds are invested in climate solutions (7.5% in 2024)
- Engagement with companies representing approximately 70% of the funds' Scope 1 and 2 emissions
- 100% of assets under management in equities and corporate bonds have been analyzed based on their impact on nature and their dependencies on ecosystem services
During 2025, the work on nature has moved from analysis to implementation. The analysis of impacts and dependencies forms the basis for what we measure and which engagements we prioritize.
"Climate change and biodiversity loss are financial risks that affect companies, sectors, and entire economies. For us, it is about understanding and managing these risks in our investments to create long-term value for our customers and savers", says Pia Gisgård.
