External Engagement
At FSN we aim to use our ownership position to drive positive change. We believe that we can further scale our contribution by mobilizing and cooperating with others too. In addition, international ESG frameworks have influenced what we view as material ESG risks and opportunities, including the UN Global Compact to which we are signatories.
Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)
In 2005, our Senior Advisor and former Chairperson, Knut Kjær, was among those invited by the UN Secretary at that time, Kofi Annan, to draft the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
FSN joined the PRI in 2012 and has since been reporting on our sustainability performance across a set of categories. Adhering to UN PRI’s six principles is a natural part of our investment approach and the foundation for our Responsible Investment Policy. We welcome how PRI continues to drive the responsible investing agenda.
In 2023, we achieved our highest PRI score yet with a 100/100 score across all applicable categories.
