DNB Private Equity manages the private equity allocation for DNB Life Insurance, DNB Bank, and other institutional investors such as Norwegian pension funds and foundations, as well as Family Offices.

DNB Private Equity recognizes the impact we have on society and the environment. Environmental, social, and governance factors are integrated into all stages of our decision-making process, from the initial analysis of an investment opportunity to the final investment decision.

DNB Private Equity will seek to invest with responsible PE fund managers who consider ESG factors in their investment decisions and during their active ownership. After the investment, all investments will be continuously monitored by DNB Private Equity through screening tools, direct dialogue with the PE funds, and reporting on ESG from the PE funds.

If DNB Private Equity considers that the actual or potential impact of sustainability risk on an investment is unacceptable, DNB Private Equity may refrain from making such an investment, or at the earliest possible time choose to sell its stake in such an investment, if relevant.

For more information about DNB Private Equity's approach to ESG, please refer to the DNB Asset Management Private Equity ESG Guidelines.
