Oregon Public Employees
The Oregon Legislature established the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (Oregon Public Employees) that administers public employee benefit trusts. Oregon Public Employees engages with current and former public employees or their beneficiaries and maintains data with respect to their public employment service, salaries and other information. It also administers a health insurance program for retirees and a voluntary deferred compensation program. During the assessed period, total assets corresponding to USD 106.5 billion were reported.
Leading practices
The financial institution entrusts its highest governance body with decision-making and oversight of its sustainability strategy. Furthermore, the responsibility for implementing this strategy is delegated to specific functions, teams, or committees within the organization. Finally, the institution provides disclosures about its operations by country, such as the number of employees or revenue.
Risks and opportunities
The institution has the opportunity to disclose its method for determining a living wage in its operational regions and to provide a publicly available policy statement against bribery and corruption. It is recommended that it disclose third-party assurance or verification of target reporting and link senior executive remuneration performance criteria to specific sustainability targets. The assessed entity reports emissions from fossil fuel extractions as a percentage of total portfolio emissions, excluding integrated oil and gas companies from this estimate. While there is a statement on excluding investments in private market funds focused on fossil fuels, there is no clear evidence that it does not support new fossil fuel projects or clients involved in such projects. Recommendations include disclosing monitoring of other scope 3 emissions categories, providing comprehensive details on carbon footprint methodology, ensuring scope 1-3 emissions align with interim targets, and breaking down clients by income group. It is advised to include risks related to ILO fundamental rights in its risk assessment process and to provide examples of conclusions and actions taken regarding salient human rights issues from assessments conducted in the last three years.
