We’re an early adopter in committing to nature-related financial disclosures 🌱🌍

"The TNFD recommendations will guide us in identifying and assessing the nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities across our investment portfolio", says Snorre Gjerde, lead investment stewardship manager 🍃

The fund is in good company among the early adopters, committing to nature-related disclosures following the #TNFD recommendation launched in September last year 🌳
We have been an active member and contributor since the launch in 2019. Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) have developed and published in 2023 a set of disclosure recommendations and guidance for organisations to report and act on evolving nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities 🐸

“We’re optimistic about the TNFD as a globally scalable tool to address financially relevant nature risk across the markets where the fund invest”, says Snorre 🌿

New year, new country! 🎉 Together with our great partner Iberdrola, we've signed an agreement to acquire a 49 percent interest in a portfolio of solar plants and onshore wind farms located in #Spain and #Portugal 🇪🇸 🇵🇹
 
"It expands our footprint in Spain and is also our first step into Portugal. We look forward to adding more attractive renewable infrastructure projects going forward," says CEO Nicolai Tangen 🤝🏞️
 
Two projects are onshore wind projects, and two are solar plant projects, with an installed capacity equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 350,000 Spanish households 🏡💡
 
Solar plants make up 60 percent of the portfolio, while onshore wind accounts for the remaining 40 percent ☀️ 💨
 
"The investment aligns with our long-term strategy, and we are very pleased to strengthen our partnership with Iberdrola. We look forward to working with them on these projects," says Chief Real Assets Officer Mie Caroline Holstad 🌍
 
These four projects are currently under development, with completion expected in 2025-2026 🏗️📅
