  Danish investors’ climate footprint has been reduced

  Insurance and pension

  Danish institutional investors, i.e. insurance and pension companies and investment funds, have invested more than kr. 1,300 billion in listed companies with varying greenhouse gas emissions. Together, they thus financed emissions of 10.9 million tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2022, which is a reduction of around 20 per cent since 2018. Concurrently, the investors have become less exposed to equities in companies with high greenhouse gas emissions measured in relation to revenue. The figures for the investors’ climate footprint are presented in a new publication of climate-related indicators from Danmarks Nationalbank.
