Monitoring of companies for the Council on Ethics for the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global

Council on Ethics for the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global

The Council on Ethics for the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) is an independent body tasked with issuing recommendations to the Ministry of Finance in accordance with the Guidelines for the Exclusion and Observation of Companies from the GPFG (the Guidelines). The Ministry of Finance makes decisions on the exclusion or observation of companies from the Fund's investment universe based on the Council's recommendations. Both the Ministry's decisions and the Council's recommendations are made public.
The Council on Ethics calls for tenders on a four year contract to provide the following services:
1. Access to a database of companies' ESG (environmental, social, governance) performance and/or criticism;
2. Identification of companies in the GPFG where there may be an unacceptable risk that the company contributes to or is itself responsible for certain conducts as mentioned in section 2 paragraph 3 of the Guidelines (see 2.1 below);
3. Screening of companies producing certain products mentioned in section 2 paragraph 1 of the Guidelines (see 2.3 below).
Applicants are encouraged to apply for all three services collectively, although applications for screening services (exclusively) or database and identification (together) will also be accepted. Applicants wishing to bid for the database and monitoring services or for the screening services exclusively should state this clearly in their submission.
