"Svanen investment ecolabelling needs focus"
The researchers believe that ecolabelling by a trusted entity like Svanen, with its long track record in consumer goods, is a unique opportunity to allow Swedish households and investors to make reliable and informed choices when selecting sustainable funds.
The researchers suggest several improvements to the Svanen proposal. In particular, they highlight the need to:
- Focus on a limited number of well-measured goals related to Svanen´s environmental expertise.
- Avoid vague criteria about fund process and goals.
