Our approach to corporate responsibility

In the PFA customer community, we want to contribute to a safer and more sustainable society

PFA was founded to increase financial security for our customers and their families. We are a customer community created by employees and employers. It all started in an flat in Copenhagen more than 100 years ago, and now we are Denmark’s largest commercial pension company with about 1.3 million customers throughout the country. So, we might be bigger today, but our values remain the same. We do not have to make profits for shareholders or other owners. The value we create is passed on to our customers.

Since day one, we have increased financial security in Denmark, and today we also contribute to health and well-being. We work to create optimum frameworks for senior life, and as one of Europe’s largest pension companies, we actively engage in the green transition. In the PFA community, we wish to contribute to a safer and more sustainable society.

Below you can read more about how we make a difference in the four strategic focus areas: Financial security, Green transition, Health and A good senior life. You can also read about how we work to reduce negative and promote positive impacts across our business, including in relation to suppliers, customers, employees, investments and partnerships.
