The impact report for the fund, Espiria Hållbar Framtid, explains how the fund measures and delivers sustainability outcomes through its investments, focusing on Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) indicators. The report also outlines the tools used to assess impact and highlights some engagement activities during the year.
This year’s impact report shows that the fund continues to progress in line with its sustainability objectives. The portfolio’s greenhouse gas intensity is 48% below the benchmark, as the fund does not invest in fossil fuel companies or in companies with significantly higher emissions intensity than sector peers.
Exposure to biodiversity-related risks and hazardous waste remains low and below benchmark levels. As participants of Nature Action 100, FSDA (Financial Sector Deforestation Action) and IPDD (Investor Policy Dialogue on Deforestation), Espiria, a part of East Capital Group, contributes to broader investor initiatives aimed at addressing nature and biodiversity loss. East Capital Group is a TNFD Early Adopter and will publish its first report in accordance with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosure recommendations next year.
Due to the limited availability of gender pay gap data in the fund’s investment universe, the report highlights board gender diversity. The portfolio ranks well above both global averages and its benchmark, and the topic remains a recurring active ownership topic.
Environmental data quality is improving, supported by increasing regulatory requirements and investor engagement. For instance, Espiria participates in the annual CDP Non-Disclosure Campaign, aimed at collecting data from holdings around the world.
Espiria uses a proprietary tool, the SDG Value Chain Analysis, which the UN PRI has featured as a best-practice method, to assess company contributions to the SDGs. This year’s results show that 73% of holdings have a strong positive impact on at least two SDGs, while all holdings have a positive impact on at least one, in line with the strategy’s inclusion criteria.
Active ownership is an important element of the investment process. During the first half of 2025, votes were cast at 70% of eligible shareholder meetings. Some proposals considered as misaligned with long-term value creation were voted against.
The report also provides examples of recent or ongoing company engagements and details how portfolio companies contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
