ABSTRACT

On a bleak February afternoon, Harmen van Wijnen logs in for an online conversation. He takes his time and chooses his words carefully. As Chair of ABP, the Largest pension fund in the Netherlands, he looks beyond the headlines of the day. For him, sustainability is not a trend but a natural path for an organization that manages money for the future. And this sustainable course is not driven by personal conviction alone. It is woven into the responsibility the fund carries for millions of pensions, andfor a liveable world. As the pressure of the climate crisis intensifies, ABP continues to seek a careful balance between financial returns and responsibility.
