SEB continues to excel in PRI Assessment

SEB has once again achieved top scores in the 2025 Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Assessment Report.

As a PRI signatory in the Asset Manager category, SEB participates in annual mandatory reporting on governance, strategy, and investment processes, which are then assessed by PRI. This year, SEB’s score in the overarching category, Policy, Governance & Strategy, reached 95 out of 100, an increase from 94 in last year’s assessment. SEB continues to receive top marks across several other categories in the assessment.

Notable progress was made in several areas, including Infrastructure and Real Estate, where improvements in post-investment monitoring and ESG disclosure were recognised, respectively. SEB’s processes for integration, monitoring, and review were again awarded five-star ratings in categories such as Listed equities (Passive, Active quantitative and Active fundamental) and Fixed income (SSA, Corporate and Securitised). In 8 out of 11 categories, SEB receives the maximum of five stars. In the remaining 3, SEB achieves four stars and consistent above-median performance.

About the PRI framework

Established in 2005 by the United Nations, the Principles for Responsible Investment framework encourages asset managers and asset owners to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their investment processes. SEB became a signatory in 2008, underscoring its early and ongoing commitment to responsible investment. As of the end of November 2025, the PRI has more than 5,000 signatories worldwide, collectively representing 139.6 trillion US dollars in assets under management, highlighting the framework’s global influence and importance. The PRI Assessment is based on extensive reporting by signatories and can be used by clients and peers to evaluate financial partners.
