(AGENPARL) - Roma, 6 Giugno 2023 - (AGENPARL) – COPENHAGEN mar 06 giugno 2023 The Danish insurance and pension companies own shares and corporate bonds worth of kr. 1,092 billion in listed companies, which emit greenhouse gases to varying degrees. Through these investments, the insurance and pension companies finance the emission of 7.5 million tons of greenhouse gases per year. The calculation of financed emissions is based on the ownership share of a company, that is, if a pension fund owns 20 per cent of a company, then the pension fund finances 20 per cent of the company’s emissions. The emissions consist of the companies’ direct emissions (scope 1) and indirect emissions from the purchase of energy (scope 2).
