Keva is the Finnish governmental pension scheme which was established in 1964 to manage pensions for persons covered by the state and local government, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and Kela pension schemes. Formerly known as Kuntien Eläkevakuutus - Local Government Pensions Institution, the firm is based in Helsinki. They changed their name to Keva in 2011 to reflect the fact that they also manage pensions for state employees. They are a signatory to the UN’s Principles for Responsible Investment and their Responsible Investment Steering Group coordinates and develops their responsible investment operations. They seek to influence target companies through an emphasis on dialogue, rather than automatically selling off securities.
