9 Finnish Pension Alliance s principles of Socially Responsible Investment (1) Adopted by the investment committee of the Finnish Pension Alliance TELA in April 2004 Each pension institution independent in their own investment policy and actions Loyalty According to legislation, pension funds must be invested profitably and securely. Target: a yield as high, stable and long-standing as possible. These objectives must also be achieved when social responsibility is taken into account. In the name of social responsibility pension funds shall not be invested in objects in which the yield is not as good and secure.

10 Finnish Pension Alliance s principles of Socially Responsible Investment (2) Pension schemes are for the most part PAYG (70%) and partially funded (30%) pension institutions should invest also in Finland However, when making investment decisions, investors of pension funds shall first and foremost take into consideration profit earning capacity and sufficient security of investments. Social responsibility as a form of risk management SRI is a sustainable investment policy Long term yield has been good SRI applies to all investments

11 Finnish Pension Alliance s principles of Socially Responsible Investment (3) SRI at different stages of investment activity Investment decision, during ownership and when considering disinvestment It is important that SRI issues are part of a controlled investment process. The costs of SRI investing should be in line with other expenses of the investments. Transparency of investment activity Good reputation bad reputation No illegal operations or operations that are directly or indirectly in conflict with international human rights and fundamental rights conventions. Own ethical criteria

12 Example: Social responsibility in Varma equities portfolio (2002) Total eguities portfolio 3.0 billion 57 % 1. Finnish companies 24 % 2. Companies included in SRI 5 % 14 % 3. Companies sending a social responsibility report (not Finnish, not SRI) 4. No response

13 SRI in annual reports Varma s principles of social responsibility in investment operations determine the goals of responsible investment. Social responsibility is also a tool in seeking higher returns. (Annual report 2003) In accordance with Ilmarinen s ownership policy, the investments it makes should not only be profitable but also socially responsible and ethically sustainable. Ilmarinen expects the companies it invests in to follow the principles of sustainable development. (Annual report 2003) Since 2003 Ilmarinen has sold four holdings due to unethical bahaviour
