Hållbarhetsprofilen (Swesif's Sustainability Declaration for Funds, HP) is a standardised information sheet which describes a fund's approach to integrating responsible investment. The HP complements the fund's factsheet.
HP's purpose is to meet the needs of fund investors and the general public for easy and transparent information on how funds apply sustainability criteria in their management. It also enables comparability between funds.
HP is a self-declaration; the information in the document is filled in by the fund companies and is neither reviewed nor approved by Swesif. Swesif is only responsible for HP's format and guidelines.
Hållbarhetsprofilen is not a certification, label or quality stamp. It should only be seen as an information standard that allows fund companies to report how their funds take into account sustainability in an industry-uniform way.
All the completed Hållbarhetsprofilen fund declarations are assembled on Hållbarhetsprofilen's website. The profiles are also available on several fund platforms.
