Federated Hermes EOS regularly reports to PensionDanmark on listed companies with reprehensive behavior. In addition, we receive inputs from Sustainanalytics, MSCI and other suppliers about both listed and private companies. For the listed companies, Federated Hermes EOS tries to establish a dialogue in order to influence the companies and change their behavior.
PensionDanmark evaluates companies individually based on their business model and their approach to, for example, climate change, the environment, human rights, and working conditions.

Furthermore, PensionDanmark does not invest in tobacco producers. PensionDanmark also excludes (thermal) coal production from the investment universe for economic reasons, as this is considered an obsolete technology for producing energy.
PensionDanmark is unwilling to buy corporate bonds issued by companies that are excluded from the list above. The same goes for any private company that is involved in the production of anti-personel mines or cluster munitions.
