The UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2021 we put a lot of effort into identifying our impact on the climate and environment. By means of a deeper analysis of our business and a climate calculation of our own operations, customer investment portfolios and the loan and treasury portfolios, for 2022 we have chosen to focus on the following goals, in keeping with UN sustainable development goals number 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Based on our current knowledge, we can see that our emissions have a particularly negative impact in terms of climate and environment on these goals.
Responsible investments
Our ambition is to obtain a basic knowledge of the operations of the companies we invest in and, above all, thoroughly examine the sustainability of these business operations. We apply an active asset management approach. All asset management is conducted in a responsible manner. The responsible investment process applies to all funds managed by the Bank of Åland as well as to our broader asset management business.
