How does ABP deal with the energy transition

Engaging with participants and civil society organizations is an important part of our sustainable and responsible investing policy. ABP wants to be transparent about its policy and how it is implemented. This is why we share our views on relevant ecological, social and governance (ESG) topics in position papers.

In this position paper we give ABP’s view on the energy transition and show how this is reflected in our investments. This paper focuses on our investments in primary energy producers* and energy suppliers in the utilities sector. We frequently receive questions on our approach to energy companies from participants and civil society organizations.
