Velliv discloses voting at 1,871 meetings in 1,559 companies

Velliv’s 2025 active ownership report, published on 19 June, gives only limited hard disclosure on the reach of its stewardship work, setting out voting at 1,871 general meetings in 1,559 companies. The report describes active ownership as part of how Velliv handles sustainability risks and sustainability factors across its investment portfolios.

The published detail is clearer on methods than on reach. Velliv said its active ownership work used dialogue, voting, international standards and guidelines, while its responsible investment policy describes active ownership as voting at general meetings, proactive dialogues on new company initiatives and reactive dialogues.

Climate engagement is one area where the report does give a specific company count. Velliv said: “Et af referencepunkterne for vores aktive ejerskab på klimaområdet er indsatsen for at få selskaber i vores portefølje til at forpligte sig til at have validerede videnskabsbaserede klimamål i overensstemmelse med Parisaftalen.” Velliv added: “I 2025 var vi i dialog med 14 selskaber om at tilslutte sig Science Based Targets- initiativet og få CO2-reduktionsmål valideret.”
