Ircantec is a French public sector supplementary pension scheme managing pensions for over 4.9 million pensioners and active public-sector employees. As at December 31st, 2018, Ircantec had US$ 12.5 billion of assets under management.

In December 2008, the pension scheme adopted an SRI approach based on the six principles for responsible investing developed by the UN PRI. In April 2016, Ircantec adopted a 4-year roadmap to further develop its approach to responsible investing by aligning its portfolio with a 2°C scenario by integrating climate issues, and financing the transition to a low carbon economy. Since 2017, the entirety of its assets are managed using ESG integration, Proxy Voting, Corporate Engagement and Negative Screening on companies manufacturing controversial weapons, tobacco, and coal.
