Our journey towards carbon-neutral funds

In 2022, we will set an interim target for 2030 and establish our strategy for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for all funds by 2050. We are well on track to reach the targets and have been able to reduce our emissions with over 50% since the reference year of 2019. To increase transparency and credibility, we will report annually on progress towards the target as part of our PRI reporting and in our Annual Report for Responsible Investments. Our latest TCFD aligned Climate Report and our Climate Change Policy can be found on our Reports page.

Our funds have a carbon footprint far below that of the underlying market, which can be reviewed in our Annual Review of Responsible Investments. This is partly due to our investment philosophy, which excludes fossil-fuel producers and avoids capital-intensive sectors, instead preferring companies with environmentally- and climate-smart solutions, health and well-being as well as digitalization and technological development.

The economic, social, and environmental consequences of climate change are increasing all the time. Science-based evidence suggests that simply slowing down current developments will not be enough. To reverse the trend there is a need for political will and change, especially with regards to the more efficient use of natural resources and technological innovation. Asset managers are responsible for the management of large investment flows. Our actions will be crucial in the global fight to reach the target of net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier.

At Fondita, we want to play our part in the change. We consider climate risks in our ESG assessments on company level, before making an investment. We strive to map how companies utilize opportunities and manage risks related to climate change. For us it’s important that all our holdings in all of the funds have a carbon reduction target or are working towards one. As signatories for the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, we aim for carbon neutrality in all funds overtime in line with our goals.

Net-zero emissions for all investment assets is a goal that requires dedication, and by working together with the companies it’s achievable. By joining Net Zero Asset Managers initiative we work together with asset managers in achieving net zero.

The Net Zero Asset Managers initiative was launched in December 2020. The initiative aims to encourage asset managers to set a net-zero emissions target by 2050 and invest accordingly to achieve the Paris Climate Agreement’s target of a maximum temperature increase of 1.5 °C. By the end of 2023, a total of 315 signatories with USD 57 trillion in assets under management had committed to the initiative, and the commitments continue to grow each year.

Environmental certificates

Environmental certificates given to our funds
Environmental certificates for investment funds provide investors with assurances that certain criteria are being met regarding how environmental factors are integrated into a fund’s investment process and holdings. In 2020 we decided that funds with a clear environmental focus could be eligible for the certificates we had identified as the most relevant for us, namely the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the Austrian Ecolabel. The Nordic Swan certificate is the most well-known and credible certificate within the Nordics, whereas the Austrian Ecolabel is widely recognized in continental Europe. Fondita Sustainable Europe was awarded both certificates in the latter part of 2020, and Fondita 2000+ was awarded the Austrian Ecolabel during the same period.



At Fondita, we are proud to have certificates. These certificates are one of
many tools to transparency and work against greenwashing within the fund
industry. They mean that the investor can rest assured that the fund is doing
precisely what it claims to do from a sustainability perspective. This is
ensured through the audit by the issuer of the certificate.
