The measurement is based on investments in listed shares, credit bonds and directly owned properties. Both total emissions
of carbon dioxide from investments increased and the carbon footprint, which measures carbon emissions in relation to
DKK million invested, decreased from 2022 to 2023. Data for measuring the climate footprint for the other asset classes is
currently being developed. It is important to note that data on the investments' carbon emissions is being developed and
improved continuously as data coverage and quality improves.
