VBDO publishes 11th edition of the Benchmark Responsible Investment by Pension Funds in the Netherlands

03 October 2017

For the eleventh time, VBDO has reviewed the sustainability performance of the 50 largest Dutch pension funds. The aim of this report is to provide pension funds and their stakeholders with insights into the current status of responsible investment in the Dutch pension sector.

The benchmark shows a growing trend towards a sustainable investment portfolio. ESG criteria are increasingly included in investment analysis and funds are overall more transparent about their responsible investment policy.

Despite this trend, 57% still has not set any targets on their sustainable investment policy and this shows more commitment from pension funds is still needed.
