Four students from CBS, who are studying a minor in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), have been working on a topical issue set by LD Pensions. In an exam assignment, they analysed how active ownership can be strengthened in US companies despite regulatory and political constraints.
The focus has been on collaborative initiatives, prioritising effective ESG measures, and on how US companies have addressed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) during the Trump administration.
According to Amir Hassan, an ESG specialist in LD Pensions, the collaboration has once again provided valuable insights this year:
“This year, the group has demonstrated a strong commitment to active ownership and a practical understanding of how institutional investors can navigate and realise their ambitions in the field of responsible investment at a time when there is not necessarily political support for ESG and the green transition.”
The students, too, highlight the collaboration as both educational and relevant:
“It has been a pleasure to collaborate with LD Pensions on this project. The work has deepened our understanding of the role investment funds can play in promoting responsible business conduct, and has challenged us to find realistic solutions at a time when ESG is increasingly being called into question. We are very pleased to have had this opportunity and proud of the results we have achieved together.”

LD Pensions would like to thank Jenai Funk, Elena Clelia Corinti, Falk Laurenz Luserke and Valentin Frederik Nepomuk Janak for their dedicated and professional collaboration, which brings fresh perspectives to our ongoing work on active ownership and responsible investment.
