Swedbank Robur Corporate Governance & Engagement Report 2025

Swedbank

Swedbank Robur today publishes its Corporate Governance & Engagement Report 2025, which shows how the asset management company has exercised active ownership globally during the year. In 2025, Swedbank Robur voted at 1,057 general meetings across approximately 40 markets, corresponding to 95 percent of the managed equity capital.

All meeting proposals are evaluated through Swedbank Robur's own analyses and all voting decisions are made internally.

"Active ownership is about taking responsibility. When we vote at more than a thousand general meetings and engage in dialogue with companies on climate, nature, human rights and corporate governance, it clearly demonstrates that we work both broadly and systematically. Through consistent voting, active nomination committee work and structured dialogue, we drive issues that strengthen companies' long-term competitiveness and thereby also the conditions for long-term value creation for our fund unit holders", says Pia Gisgård, Head of Sustainability and Corporate Governance at Swedbank Robur.

The report further states that during 2025 Swedbank Robur has:
· Participated in 82 nomination committees in Sweden and the Nordics
· Conducted engagement dialogues with companies representing 70 percent of the financed Scope 1 and 2 emissions in emission-intensive sectors
· Contacted a total of 1,410 companies and issuers on various sustainability matters
· In the companies where Swedbank Robur was part of the nomination committee, the share of women on the boards amounted to 39.3 percent and 45 percent of newly elected board members are women
· Voted against more than 600 remuneration-related proposals in foreign companies where the performance requirements or long-term link to shareholder value were deemed insufficient

Methods and approach
Swedbank Robur use five tools in its engagement: voting at general meetings, participation in nomination committees, thematic dialogues, investor collaborations and external engagement service providers. The dialogues are conducted either directly by Swedbank Robur with the companies or through investor networks. The main thematic focus areas during the year were climate, nature, human rights and corporate governance
