Spiltan Fonder acknowledge limitations in the sustainability data used in the analysis of investments in Spiltan Globalfond Investmentbolag. These data limitations are due to the fact that the legal acts adopted as a result of the European Commission’s European Green Deal, and additional international regulations which aim to increase the transparency and optimise sustainability reporting come into force on different dates and with different reporting obligations dependent on where the company geographically operates, hence the majority of Spiltan Globalfond Investmentbolag’s portfolio companies are consequently not obliged to report relevant sustainability data today.
