Sustainable investments

PCN stands for a good and affordable pension and believes that sustainable investments contribute to this for this generation and the generations after us. That is why PCN pays attention to ecological, social and governance subjects. Also certain investments, such as controversial weapons and cluster munition, are excluded in advance.
Our investment manager discusses these subjects with companies on behalf of PCN and, where possible, uses the voting power we have. We are informed about these activities periodically by our investment manager through the Corporate Governance reports.
One of PCN’s investment beliefs is, as part of its social objectives and risk/return considerations, that we choose to invest part of our funds in the local economy. The local investments must have social relevance. In 2018 the first local investment was done through Participatiemaatschappij Caribisch Nederland (PMCN) which was created for this purpose. PCN has granted a loan to EZ Air through PMCN for the purchase of two airplanes, intended for air traffic between the ABC islands and Colombia.
