ESG mandate: Dutch pension fund entrusts Schroders with €3.9 billion
British asset manager Schroders has received a mandate from Dutch pension fund PGGM. The contract for actively managed sustainable equity strategies amounts to €3.9 billion, underscoring the growing importance of ESG-compliant investments in the institutional sector.
PGGM manages assets for 4.4 million people in the Dutch healthcare system. The decision to choose Schroders was made after a selection process in which the British company's expertise in customized sustainable investment solutions was decisive, according to the company.
The PGGM mandate joins a series of similar mandates Schroders has received in the area of sustainable investments. In early 2025, the British asset manager St. James's Place commissioned the company to implement similar strategies. This development reflects the growing demand from institutional investors for ESG-compliant investment solutions.
Schroders manages total assets of €906.6 billion (as of June 30, 2025) and employs over 5,800 people at 38 locations worldwide. Founded in 1804, the company is listed on the London Stock Exchange as a FTSE 100 company and has a market capitalization of approximately £6 billion.
