- Swedish women face receiving thousands of kronor less in pensions even if they have done the same work as their male counterparts, according to Skandia.

A report from the company highlighted the effects of wage differences for men and women’s future pensions. Typically, the difference in future pension capital will be hundreds of thousands of kronor. For example, a female surgical nurse could expect around SEK 650,000 less in retirement than a male colleague of the same age, according to Skandia. Even if the trend towards equal pay continued at the same rate, the difference in pension will still be around SEK 600,000 at retirement.

- Denmark’s Forsikring & Pension (F&P) has welcomed the government’s expert group’s three models for CO2 tax.

F&P stated that the models had “a good balance”, and would make it profitable to invest in the green transition and reduce the risk of flagging out Danish jobs and climate technology. Political negotiations on a green tax reform are now underway in Denmark, with F&P describing it as an “important tool” for the nation to achieve its goal of reducing CO2 emissions.

- Danica Ejendomme, which invests in property on behalf of Danica Pension, has reduced its CO2 emissions from its Danish properties by 40 per cent since 2019.

This reduction means that Danica Ejendomme is ahead of its 2025 climate goal and on its way to meeting the long-term goal of reducing CO2 by 69 per cent by 2030. Its CO2 reduction targets were 30 per cent for 2023 and 37 per cent for 2025 compared it its 2019 level.
