The Swiss Federal Pension Fund PUBLICA is an independent public-sector occupational pension fund. It has around 68,000 active members and around 42,000 pension recipients. With total assets of CHF 39 billion at the end of 2022, PUBLICA is one of the largest pension funds in Switzerland. PUBLICA has been involved in EEC’s institutional investors group since 2022.
Energy and climate
PUBLICA has set itself the target of achieving net zero emissions for its portfolio by no later than 2050. One of the key ways in which the pension fund aims to achieve this is by entering into dialogue with companies in order to encourage them to take a more responsible approach in areas of their business. It also exercises its voting rights in these companies in order to lend weight to the demands arising from this dialogue. In its real estate investments, PUBLICA has committed itself to an ambitious greenhouse-gas reduction pathway, and in its private market investments it finances renewable energies such as wind farms and solar panel installations.
