Employers in the country make compulsory contributions to worker provident funds called vorsorgekassen &#8211; and fair-finance is one of the select few entrusted to safeguard those payments. Over the past decade, fair-finance has executed a sustainable investment strategy. lt uses a trifocal lens to steer investments towards opportunities with economic, environmental and social benefits, and levers asset allocation to influence the capital market. In 2016, the special real estate fund &#8220;fair-finance real estate&#8221; became the first Austrian real estate fund to earn Ecolabel certification, and 2020 fair-finance has earned Gold Certificate status from the \u00d6GUT (Austrian Society for Environment and Technology) for the sustainable investment portfolio 2019. fair-finance first published annual sustainability report, highlighting key financial and non-financial figures won the ASRA 2019 (Austrian Sustainability Reporting Award) at the very first submission. lt has a customer advisory board with employer and employee representatives, and a profit-sharing scheme. In partnership with Senat der Wirtschaft (the Economic Senate), fair-finance has launched the first Austrian Social Entrepreneurship fund to invest in business cases with social impact. The fund is expected to provide social entrepreneurs with \u20ac5-\u20ac10m over the next six to eight years. fair-finance&#8217;s portfolio focuses on microfinance, private debt, energy storage technology, reforestation, elderly care, real estate and social business &#8211; and enabled savings of 17,908 tonnes of C02 in 2019. The CFl.co judging panel is pleased to present fair-finance, a repeat winner in the awards programme, with the 2020 award for Most Socially Responsible Pension Fund (Central Europe).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>fair-finance is an Austrian pension fund which modestly opts for the lower case in its official title, but holds an elevated role in its sector.
