For the third time, ATP invests in Swedish Northvolt, a developer and manufacturer of the world’s greenest electric car batteries. The Danish pension fund invests DKK 400 million and the total investment from ATP now reaches DKK 1.9 billion.

ATP’s efforts to obtain ESG data from the unlisted area of the investment universe are growing. Industriens Pension and PenSam are now joining ATP’s questionnaire for funds and unlisted companies in order to push for more sustainability in the portfolio. Data is crucial for the pension sector to deliver on the ambition of value-creating ESG integration, including contributing to the green transition by reducing CO2 emissions in all parts of the business.

A targeted investment strategy and tight risk management meant that ATP once again generated record results in 2021. The investment return of almost DKK 50 billion has never been higher, and after the high returns of the last three years, there was room in 2021 to increase pensions by DKK 30.4 billion, which is also the largest increase ever.

Hot water from deep in the Earth’s interior will provide renewable energy in the detached house. The geothermal plant, which will be the largest in the EU, will now be established in Aarhus. ATP is a major investor in the project and thus plays a crucial role in exploiting the world’s fourth renewable energy source here in Denmark.

“We simply can’t afford not to”. This is the message from ATP’s CEO. Bo Foged. ATP is raising its climate ambitions to create good returns for its members and contribute to the global green transition.
