Creating value through ESG and sustainability

Investment strategy: The EPF headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. The fund has embarked on a journey to put in place adequate mitigation measures against climate change risks while capturing investment opportunities that arise as solutions to the climate crisis.

AT the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), it is our belief that aligning our investment activities with the broader interests of society would serve our objectives as a retirement savings fund that is driven by long-term, sustainable value creation for our stakeholders.

While the EPF has largely been an ethical investor in the past by screening out sectors that are deemed to be unethical, becoming a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles of Responsible Investment in 2019 served as a catalyst for the EPF to gradually embed sustainability considerations into its investment analysis and decision-making processes.
