Our Approach to the SFDR
The Disclosure Regulation increases transparency and comparability
The primary objective of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation is to increase transparency on sustainability issues while also increasing comparability between financial market participants in relation to the integration of sustainability risks and consideration of negative impacts on sustainable development in their processes.
The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) entered into force in March 2021. The AP Funds are not directly subject to the regulation, but will develop their reporting in line with the regulation and publish the results on their websites.
Sustainability risks are a key element in our risk management
The AP Funds’ mandate includes generating high returns while keeping risk low. It is important for the Funds to have the trust of the public, behave responsibly and manage their assets in an exemplary manner through responsible investment and stewardship. This is guided by Första AP-fonden’s Responsible Investment Policy, which sets out the principles and framework for our work.

How our remuneration policy relates to sustainability risk integration
Employee remuneration should encourage good performance and conduct in line with the AP Funds’ mandate and follow the Government’s guidelines for employment conditions in the AP Funds. The AP Funds’ mandate includes exemplary management through responsible investment and stewardship. The Fund does not apply performance-related pay.
