Seminar Responsible Investment by Dutch Pension Funds 2024

  • Date: 26/11/2024
  • Time: 3 - 5 pm (CET)
  • Location: FNV, Stichting de Burcht, Amsterdam

We are pleased to announce the publication and presentation of the most important results from the VBDO Benchmark Responsible Investment by Pension Funds in the Netherlands 2024. The annual VBDO Benchmark Pension Funds is a household name in the pension world. Every year, the fifty largest Dutch pension funds are assessed and ranked in terms of their responsible investment policy.

2024 marks an important year. The research’s overarching philosophy has been improved from ‘investing assets as sustainably as possible’ to ‘realising sustainability with assets; assessing the positive and negative impact of a fund’. The content and methodology have undergone the necessary adjustments in consultation with the pension sector.

We will present a summary of the benchmark during the seminar.
