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.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals

The private sector plays an integral part in solving the most urgent global challenges as best described by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our investment philosophy is inspired by the Goals when we look to identify global growth trends and deal opportunities.

In 2020 we identified the SDGs and targets to which FSN Capital Funds as majority owners can contribute in their investments. Our Portfolio Companies are also encouraged to support the SDGs, and identify which goals are most relevant in their ESG strategy development.

 

  • Opportunity to include women on boards of directors and key C-suite positions, both in our portfolio companies and at FSN Capital
  • We track and encourage portfolio company diversity
  • Job creation through organic growth in the portfolio companies
  • Opportunity to increase health and safety of the people working across the full value chain of our portfolio companies
  • Opportunity to invest in companies that contribute to climate change mitigation and/or adaptation
  • Opportunity to reduce climate impact by providing tools and resources to report and reduce GHG emissions
  • Increase climate awareness among portfolio companies and FSN Capital’s employees through strategy development discussions and trainings
  • Opportunity to strengthen ethical business conduct by always conducting an ESG due diligence and implementing the FSN Capital ESG Governance Framework in our portfolio companies
