Biodiversity

circle

According to the UN Environment Programme species of plants and animals are increasingly disappearing. And this is alarming - both for the nature, the climate and the economy.

The UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal in 2022 ended with a landmark agreement about protecting and restoring global biodiversity. It was among other things decided that the biodiversity loss must be reversed by 2030. And by then, also 30 percent of the world's nature must be permanently protected.

P+ supports the Montreal Protocol. And on these grounds, the pension fund introduced its first overall plan for the work with biodiversity in 2023.

Increased active ownership

P+ has, as one of the first investors, joined two new global investor cooperations - Spring that is PRI stewardship initiativ and Nature Action 100

Nature Action 100 aims at exercising active ownership towards the world's 100 companies with the largest dependency or influence on the nature and biodiversity to mobilise them to handle adverse impact and contribute to reverse the loss of biodiversity. Spring aims to exercise active ownership with special focus on issues within deforestation and land degradation. 

At the same time, we also exercise active ownership via EOS and conduct direct engagement with both investment managers and chosen Danish companies within i.a. the food and pharmaceutical industry about their work with biodiversity.
