2018 started on a high note when in January the Dutch pension giant ABP announced their tobacco-free move. It was a great pleasure to work with ABP in reaching this decision and we were delighted to welcome ABP Trustee Xander Den Uyl to the Tobacco Free Portfolios Global Advisory Council. Other tobacco-free announcements to hit the headlines include those from Qantas Super, BNP Asset Management and a long list of Dutch financial institutions including ING, Robeco, Aegon N. V., ABN AMRO Asset Management and NN Group N. V.
