Exclusions
Our method for exclusion of companies is defined by Storebrand's Exclusion policy which applies to all assets we manage.
Exclusion methodology
The exclusion process is extensive. It involves both internal and external data and evaluations conducted by experts in the field. Excluded companies are removed from Storebrand’s investment universe, which is an investment ecosystem that consists of over 4.000 companies.
Storebrand's extra criteria build upon Storebrand's Exclusion policy. The extra criteria will only apply to selected funds and saving profiles.

Conduct-based exclusions
It is of fundemental importance that the companies we invest in follow international laws, norms and conventions.
Product-based exclusions
We exclude companies that produce or distribute tobacco and recreational cannabis. We also exclude companies with significant revenue from coal and oil sands and unsustainable palm oil production.
Observation process
We are dedicated to using our position to influence companies in a direction we believe is sustaiable. In some cases where we suspect a violation of our policies, it may be beneficial to follow a company over time.
Exclusion decision
The decision to exclude a company is based on an assessment of the issue by Storebrand's investment committee. The committee comprises several representatives of the Storebrand Group's senior management team and other executives, who meet on a quarterly basis.
If the excluded companies demonstrate improvements in their policies and business operations, they may be reinstated in Storebrand's investable universe.
