Responsible investing
The Government Pension Fund
Responsible investing is an integrated part of the management of the Government Pension Fund. The purpose is to safeguard and promote the Fund's financial interests by promoting responsible business conduct and long-term value creation in the companies in which the Fund is invested. The Ministry of Finance consider the long-term return on the GPFG and the GPFN to be dependent on sustainable development and well-functioning markets.
