Sustainable investments
Approach to policy
The Hempel Foundation’s approach to sustainable investments is based on the Foundation’s core values.
We aim to act responsibly in everything we do, and this is also reflected in all our investments.
The purpose of our guidelines is to ensure that our investments contribute to sustainable and responsible development, as well as a high degree of social responsibility. We believe that the best possible long-term returns go hand in hand with respect for the environment and society.
Values and Principles
The Hempel Foundation aims to support recognized standards and well-documented frameworks in its work with sustainable investments.
Therefore, we have largely based our approach on the six UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), which broadly set the framework for responsible investors' work on sustainable investments.
Our sustainable investment policy is based on internationally recognized conventions and norms, including the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact, the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the EU Taxonomy Regulation on sustainable finance.
See our investment policy.
Tax Policy
The Foundation and Hempel Invest adhere to a strict tax policy, avoiding aggressive tax planning.
Asset managers must comply with the OECD’s tax principles for multinational enterprises (BEPS), ensuring ethical and transparent financial practices.
By adhering to these principles, the Hempel Foundation ensures its investments generate long-term financial returns while contributing to sustainable and responsible global development.
