The UN Principles for Responsible Investment
In 2005, our Chairperson, Knut Kjær, was among those invited by the UN Secretary at that time, Kofi Annan, to draft the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). FSN Capital has been a signatory of the PRI since 2012.
Adhering to UN PRI’s six principles is a natural part of our investment approach and the foundation for our Responsible Investment Policy. We highly welcome how PRI continues to drive the sustainable investment agenda, the PRI climate module being the latest development.
We have highlighted some of our key efforts to fulfill our commitments under each of PRI’s principles.
FSN Capital Partners’ PRI transparency reports are publicly available on UN PRI’s website.
