Sustainability impact

At BeFrank, you invest sustainably. But how sustainable your investment varies per person and depends on the choices you make. On your personal pension page, under My sustainability impact, you can see how your investments score and the impact they make.

Are you an employer? Check your employer portal to see what the  sustainability impact is of your pension scheme.

Example of the “My sustainability impact” dashboard on your personal pension page 

ESG score, CO₂, hazardous waste and non‑recyclable waste

To show how sustainably you invest, we display the ESG score of your investments. The ESG score indicates how sustainable, on average, the companies are in which the funds invest. In addition, you gain insight into how much CO₂ emissions, hazardous waste and non‑recyclable waste your investments help to reduce.

To calculate the impact on CO₂ emissions and waste, we compare your investments with a benchmark of these funds. This benchmark does not take sustainability into account. This gives you an indication of the reductions in CO₂ emissions and waste achieved by your investments.

What does ESG mean?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. These are some of the elements that are important when assessing sustainability.

Good to know

  • We measure the impact on part of your investments
    We measure the sustainability impact for part of your investments. For example, we do not measure this for the matching funds. Due to the nature of these funds, no sustainability data is available. How much you invest in each fund depends on your age and your investment risk.
  • You don’t see everything in My sustainability impact
    The dashboard does not show all possible sustainability indicators, but a selection. We chose these to clearly present the savings and the comparison between investment styles. And they also align with BeFrank’s sustainability themes.
  • We do more
    We also use other methods to influence the sustainability of your investments. For example, by excluding certain activities such as the tobacco industry and the most polluting forms of fossil energy. We also engage in dialogue with companies.
