Expectations
Content on this page
Folketrygdfondet is the largest institutional investor on the Oslo Stock Exchange and is among the three largest owners in about 50 companies. As a financial investor, we have clear expectations to the companies we invest in.
Folketrygdfondet follows both national and international standards for responsible investment. The expectations are based on information from our dialogue with companies, academics and trade organisations, as well as recognised standards such as the UN Global Compact and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.
As a financial investor, we have clear expectations of the companies’ handling of environmental, social and corporate governance issues. This helps to reduce the risk in the portfolio and thereby maximise returns in the long term.
Our goal is to make the dialogue with companies as efficient and targeted as possible. Our expectation documents show which guidelines we expect the companies to have in place and how we expect the companies to follow up and report within each area.
