Active Ownership
Storebrand aims to be a driving force for lasting change in the way companies are managed, while ensuring the best possible return for customers and owners.
Storebrand's sustainable investment team is in dialogue with a large number of companies each year, seeking to influence them to move in a more sustainable direction.
By questioning companies about their sustainability practices and development, we challenge them to be more proactive in addressing these issues. In our experience the best results are achieved through co-operation with other investors and targeted engagement with companies where our ownership level is highest.
