- W80027119 abstract "The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, the Government Pension Fund - Global (GPFG), formally established in 1990, is the largest in Europe and second largest in the world, now valued at over $500 billion. It was created to support the long-term management of petroleum revenues and to facilitate government savings necessary to meet the rapid rise in public pension expenditures in the coming decades with an ageing population. Since the GPFG is owned ultimately by the Norwegian citizens and they cannot withdraw from investments as typical shareholders can, a set of Ethics Guidelines were adopted to legitimize the GPFG. Hence, the GPFG avoids investments in companies whose practices constitute an unacceptable risk because of grossly unethical activities. The Ethics Guidelines are based on the view that there is a link between sustainable economic development and sustainable social and environmental development. The idea is that the Fund, being a long-term investor, will benefit from companies respecting fundamental ethical norms based upon internationally recognized standards, such as the UN Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. After explaining the workings of the GPFG and its Ethical Guidelines, this paper will argue that there is growing consensus that sustainable development is a legitimate concern for all investors, be they private or state-owned funds. Hence, using ethics guidelines such as the ones used by the GPFG should not be a reason for promoting special regulation of SWFs. Regulation to deal with geopolitical state interests or national security issues could be addressed in separate legislation against all types of owners, not singling out SWF. The author is a member of the project team of the Sustainable Companies project at the Faculty of Law, University of Oslo." @default.
