- Energy consumption and renewable energy share are calculated based on scope 2 location-based.
- Excl. government bonds. The emissions are not consolidated due to double counting with other asset classes.
ESG key figures
PensionDanmark has decided to publish a list of ESG key figures (Environment, Social and Governance), calculated according to the guidelines published by FSR – Danish Auditors, Nasdaq and the Danish Finance Society in June 2019. In order to give credence to these ESG key figures, we have also included them in our independent auditor’s report as the first pension provider in Denmark.

3 Emissions and CO2 footprint for sovereign bonds have been calculated using data from Climate Watch, including LUCF. Excluding LUCF, the figures for 2024 are respectively 381,110 tons and 24.6 tonnes/DKKm. The emissions according to UNFCCC data, including LULUCF, are respectively 145,683 tons and 17.0 tonnes/DKKm. Excluding LULUCF, the figures for 2024 are calculated to be respectively 145,632 tons and 17.0 tonnes/DKKm.
4 Excl. government bonds. The emissions are not consolidated due to double counting with other asset classes.
5 PensionDanmark has not set targets for this after 2025. Instead, targets have been set for the development of new capacity within renewable energy.
