Evli’s Responsible Investment Annual Report 2019 published

Responsibility is an important part of portfolio management at Evli. Systematic processes have been established for responsibility in order to ensure that it is an integrated part of Evli’s investment operations. The Responsible Investment Annual Report covers the main themes and practical measures carried out in Evli’s responsible investments in 2019.

"In 2019, we continued our systematic work to mitigate climate change by publishing our Principles for Climate Change. These principles concretize our way of taking climate change and its impacts into account in our investments. We also, once again, received recognition from our clients when Evli's responsible investment practices were ranked best in Finland for the third consecutive year in an institutional investor survey conducted by KANTAR Sifo Prospera. At the beginning of 2020, responsibility was raised to one of Evli’s strategic focus areas, which means that even more emphasis is being put on developing responsibility at Evli”, says Outi Helenius, Head of Sustainability at Evli Bank.
