Evli has published its Climate and Nature Report for 2025. The report describes how Evli manages and integrates climate- and nature-related risks, opportunities, and impacts into its investment activities, as well as how Evli’s climate and nature work progressed during the year.
Key highlights for 2025
- Evli published new Climate and Nature Principles that guide its climate- and nature-related analysis, monitoring, engagement, and reporting, and set a framework for taking biodiversity into account in investment activities. The combined principles refine Evli’s previous Climate Principles and Biodiversity Roadmap.
- Evli conducted an interim review of its climate targets, based on which the targets were refined and roadmap actions were supplemented. Evli aims to reach net zero by 2050 at the latest. The target covers emissions from both Evli’s own operations and its investments.
- By the end of 2025, the carbon footprint of investments in equity and corporate bond funds had decreased by 49.8 percent. One of Evli’s interim climate targets is to reduce carbon emissions from investments by 50 percent by 2030 compared to the 2019 baseline.
- Evli continued to progress toward net zero. In line with the interim targets of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, approximately 60 percent of investments in material sectors were net zero, aligned with net zero, or in the process of aligning with net zero by the end of 2025. The target is to reach 65 percent by 2030. In the baseline year 2022, the share was 42 percent.
- Evli continued its engagement work on climate and nature. In 2025, Evli’s independent climate engagement targeted 14 companies, while climate and nature engagement covered ten companies. During the year, Evli also participated in 88 annual general meetings.
- Evli advanced its nature analysis. Evli analyzed the exposure of its equity and corporate bond funds to nature-related risks using metrics recommended for the financial sector by the TNFD. Of Evli’s investments, 49 percent operate in sectors that are material for biodiversity and 47 percent are located in nature-sensitive areas. In addition, Evli utilizes, among other tools, ENCORE to identify the nature dependencies and impacts in its investments.
“Publishing the combined Climate and Nature Principles was a significant step forward in Evli’s sustainability work. We recognize the role of climate as part of nature and the importance of climate change as one of the key drivers of nature loss. Therefore, we combined the development of climate and nature work to a focus area of responsible investing and brought the themes under a shared set of principles,” says Elina Niiranen, Evli’s Sustainability Manager.
“Clear and transparent climate and nature reporting is an important part of Evli’s sustainability efforts. Our aim is to develop Evli’s own operations, tools, and reporting, as well as to enhance the data available to investors to support them in achieving their own objectives,” Niiranen continues.
The Climate and Nature Report follows the international reporting frameworks Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). In line with these frameworks, the report describes Evli’s governance, strategy, management of risks and impacts, as well as metrics and targets. Evli has published a TCFD report since 2020 and joined the TNFD Early Adopters in January 2024.
Further details on Evli’s climate and nature work are available in the Climate and Nature Report.
