Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)
The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, (SFDR), came into force in March 2021. The main purpose of the Disclosure Regulation is to boost transparency on sustainability issues and to increase comparability between financial market participants with regard to the integration of sustainability risks and the consideration of negative impacts on sustainable development in processes. The AP funds are not directly covered by the Disclosure Regulation but will develop their reporting with the aim of reviewing how the funds can report in line with the new standard set by the Regulation.
Key agreements
The following agreements within the ethical and environmental areas are of particular importance:
OECD’s guidelines for multinational enterprises.
ILO’s core conventions (on forced labour, child labour, equal remuneration, freedom of association and right to organise).
UN’s Declaration of Human Rights and Ruggie Principles.
AP3 also encourages companies to adopt the principles of the UN’s Global Compact.
Initiatives and partnerships strengthen the impact of corporate engagement
AP3 works with other investors to increase the opportunities to influence the companies in which the Fund invests. Below is a selection of the initiatives and partnerships in which AP3 is involved.
