Swedbank Försäkring’s sustainability-related disclosures
Below are Swedbank Försäkring’s sustainability-related disclosures under Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR).
Sustainability in our endowment and pension insurance policies
We work to ensure that sustainability aspects are taken into account within the framework of all insurance policies with underlying investment options. You can read how we work and what requirements we set in our voluntary annual Sustainability Report, Swedbank Försäkring.
The customer can influence the sustainability of their investments
Customers with unit-linked insurance or portfolio bonds can influence the sustainability characteristics of their investments by selecting the underlying investment options. For example, customers can choose funds that promote environmental or social characteristics (Article 8 SFDR) or funds that have sustainable investment as their objective (Article 9 SFDR). The fund list can be filtered by these categories. This ensures that the investment promotes environmental or social characteristics (Article 8) or has sustainable investment as its objective (Article 9) under SFDR.
SFDR
SFDR requires disclosures on the integration of sustainability risks under Article 6. Additional disclosure requirements apply to financial products that promote environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of those characteristics, provided that the companies in which the investments are made follow good governance practices (Article 8), and to financial products that have sustainable investment as their objective (Article 9). Products that do not fall within Article 8 or Article 9 are commonly referred to as “Article 6 products”.
Our insurance policies
Portfolio bonds
Individual shares and bonds are not themselves financial products within the meaning of SFDR and are therefore not themselves classified under Article 8 or Article 9 SFDR. This is one of the reasons why our portfolio bonds do not constitute Article 8 or Article 9 insurance products.
Traditional insurance
All underlying funds in our traditional insurance products promote environmental or social characteristics (Article 8 SFDR) or have sustainable investment as their objective (Article 9 SFDR).
Unit-linked insurance
All of the default investment solutions we offer, which apply when a customer does not make their own fund selection, consist of funds that promote environmental or social characteristics (Article 8 SFDR) or have sustainable investment as their objective (Article 9 SFDR).
We support the launch of funds with sustainability-related characteristics or objectives
Swedbank Försäkring is also working to enable new funds. As part of this work, Swedbank Försäkring has acted as an anchor investor in fund launches of Swedbank Robur Climate Bond, Swedbank Robur Climate Impact, Swedbank Robur Access Edge Emerging Markets and Swedbank Robur Obligation Lång Inst.

Sustainability for Swedbank Försäkring as a company
Policies on the integration of sustainability risks
We work in a systematic way to take sustainability risks into account - both in our own investment decisions and in the fund management companies we collaborate with.
Statement on principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors
Investment decisions may have adverse impacts on sustainability factors. Sustainability factors mean environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters.

Remuneration in Swedbank Försäkring
Remuneration philosophy
We apply a remuneration strategy that aims to counteract excessive risk-taking and stimulate employees to deliver sustainable results that are consistent with Swedbank Försäkring’s strategic goals, the interests of shareholders and customers, and sound and effective risk management. Remuneration is individually based and should encourage employees’ performance in line with Swedbank Försäkring’s goals, strategy and vision, as well as individual behaviours that are in line with Swedbank Försäkring’s values (Open, Simple and Caring).
We offer competitive but not market-leading remuneration derived from business and local market needs and determined regardless of gender, transgender identity or expression (i.e. gender neutral), ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age. Remuneration in Swedbank Försäkring aims to attract and retain a workforce with diversity and the ability, experience and skills to deliver Swedbank’s strategy in an inclusive and equal work environment.
