The purpose of the management of the GPFG is to secure a good long-term return, at a moderate level of risk.
Formålet med Statens pensjonsfond utland er å sikre god langsiktig avkastning innenfor et moderat nivå på risiko.
The objective of good financial return is closely linked to our ambition to be a responsible investor.
Målet om god finansiell avkastning er nært knyttet til vår ambisjon om å være en ansvarlig investor.
A good financial return over time is dependent on sustainable development in economic, environmental and social terms.
God avkastning over tid avhenger av en bærekraftig utvikling i økonomisk, miljømessig og samfunnsmessig forstand.
We will therefore utilise the tools available to us as a financial investor to promote this.
Vi vil derfor bruke de virkemidlene vi har som finansiell investor til å bidra til en slik utvikling.
