Press release
Each year, the Association of Investors for Sustainable Development (VBDO) examines the performance of the responsible investment policy of Dutch pension funds (supported by FNV). The benchmark assesses the 50 largest pension funds in the Netherlands, together accounting for 92% of the assets under management with a total value of more than € 1,435 billion. The extensive research also gives insight into the performance of the sector as a whole. This shows, among other things, that significant steps have been taken in determining policy in recent years, but there is still room for improvement translating policy into practice.
