The review is carried out on the portfolio submitted by VFF Pension on the review date. The various funds\u2019 assets are those most recently registered. In particular, ISS ESG assesses the funds\u2019 assets through norms-based screening, sector-based screening and checking specifically for controversial weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Norms-based screening identifies companies that do not respect international norms governing environmental protection, human rights, labour law or anti-corruption. The check for controversial weapons identifies companies involved in anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs, chemical weapons, biological weapons and nuclear weapons. Sector-based screening identifies companies where 5 % or more of their turnover can be related to the production of pornography or tobacco.<\/p>\n<p>The framework of the ISS ESG review includes dialogue with companies that are assessed as violating norms governing environmental protection, human rights, labour law or anti-corruption. The purpose of this dialogue is to collect relevant facts so as to ensure a comprehensive and objective analysis. ISS ESG seeks to identify how the company takes responsibility for specific violations, and also how the company works preventatively to avoid future violations. In addition, VFF Pension conducts active dialogue with fund managers primarily to persuade such companies to make relevant changes rather than exclude them. In cases in which persuasion does not have the desired effect, VFF Pension may opt to exit the fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vffpension.se\/en\/sustainability-related-documents\/\">Here you will find all our Sustainability-related documents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Sustainability rating of the portfolio per 2025-12-31 was 97,65%<\/h2>\n<p>The bars show the degree of purity during the period 2020-2025.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8192&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1773932764438{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Proportion of that part of the portfolio that does not meet the VFF Pension sustainability criteria.
