SPF adopted its policy on impact investing in 2025. The two themes of climate change and circularity are key to this policy. While financial returns will always remain the starting point, we are also investing in solutions that contribute to a future-proof economy.

A good example of this is our investment in Mirova Energy Transition 5, a fund that invests in European renewable energy, energy storage and clean mobility projects. This fund focuses entirely on activities that support the transition towards clean energy.

What tangible results has this delivered?
The fund invests in companies such as Zunder in Spain and Driveco in France. Both companies are developing the EV charging infrastructure needed to enable wider transport electrification growth. Such investments resulted in the installation of almost 3,000 EV charging points by late 2025, accounting for over 166 million kilometres travelled by electric vehicles.

The impact on climate change is also tangible. MET5’s investments helped prevent over 1 million tonnes of carbon emissions in 2025. To put this into perspective, this is almost the same as the annual emissions of over 100,000 Dutch citizens.

Contributing to a liveable world
Attractive returns and tangible impact are exactly the outcomes we’re aiming for with our positive impact investing, which is why we decided to further increase our investment in this fund earlier this year. This shows just how important this form of sustainable investment is for us. Investing in innovative clean energy and sustainable mobility solutions enables SPF to build a portfolio that creates both value for its members while also contributing to the transition to a more sustainable economy.
