BACKGROUND

    IFU invests in financially viable companies, contributing to the green transition as well as economic and social development.

    Investments are made on commercial terms in the form of equity and loans. The purpose is to contribute to the green transition, economic and social development in the investment countries and to support the realisation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

    IFU has invested in 1,346 companies in more than 100 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and parts of Europe. The active portfolio covering all funds contains 161 project companies. Total expected investment in the active portfolio is DKK 107bn, of which IFU has contributed 11bn

    Neither aid, nor business grants
    IFU is an independent government-owned fund offering risk capital to companies in developing countries and emerging markets.

    IFU is not a provider of aid or business grants. We work on a commercial basis, because we believe that business investment is a good way to create lasting improvements.

    Furthermore, IFU is fund manager of a number of other investment funds, including the Danish SDG Investment Fund.

    Good business for developing countries
    Total investments to date amount to DKK 234bn, of which IFU has contributed more than DKK 27bn. This has helped to create and preserve close to one million jobs in the host countries, and IFU has contributed to the establishment of more than 2,600 megawatts renewable energy. In addition, IFU’s presence has resulted in transfer of knowledge and technology, the employees have received training, economic activity has been accelerated and a source of income through e.g. taxes has been created for the host countries.

    All investments must support the green transition and contribute to poverty alleviation and reduced inequality. Furthermore, IFU has a strong focus on the project companies’ corporate social responsibility to ensure, among other things, that employees are given proper working conditions and that a project company’s production is socially and environmentally sustainable.

    Invests with Danish trade and industry
    IFU has a broad investment mandate and also invests with Danish companies in developing countries. Over time, IFU has co-invested with more than 900 Danish companies. In the vast majority of cases, the project companies established in developing countries have been a success, making a positive contribution to the overall performance of the co-investing Danish company.

    The Danish companies have gained access to new markets and at the same time contributed to making a positive difference in the developing countries.

    Legal framework

    IFU is governed by the Act on International Development Cooperation.

    IFU was established by law in 1967. IFU is a self-governing institution with the objective of promoting investments that support sustainable development in developing countries and contribute to the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

    IFU is not subject to the Danish Access to Public Administration Files Act, regarding its investments. Information regarding environment may under certain conditions be subject to disclosure according to the Environmental Information Act.

    IFU’s statutes are decided by IFU’s board and approved by the Minister for Development Cooperation.

    Tax policy

    Since IFU’s investment profits are reinvested in new projects in developing countries, IFU is exempted from paying corporate income tax in Denmark.

    The companies that IFU invests in must at all times comply with local tax laws and pay taxes in the country where they have their operations.

    IFU may make investments through holding companies domiciled in other countries than Denmark or the country where the project company is domiciled (so-called third countries), when it is commercially motivated and not with the principal purpose of reducing tax on payments from project companies. IFU will not use holding companies in third countries that are on the EU or OECD blacklist (i.e. the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes and the OECD Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes).

    IFU aims to be open about tax. Total reported corporate taxes from IFU’s project companies – split on continents – are published in IFU’s annual report and on IFU’s website. The website also has information on which of IFU’s investments are made through a holding company, including where the holding company is domiciled. In future, when an investment is made through a holding company in a third country, IFU will explain on its website the reason for this structure and how it complies with IFU’s policy on responsible tax.

    The Tax Dialogue
    The Tax Dialogue is a multi-stakeholder dialogue initiative set up by OXFAM IBIS to understand the challenges and opportunities regarding tax and corporate responsibility in the private sector.

    The aim of the Tax Dialogue is to discuss principles for responsible tax and how responsible tax policies can be an integral part of the business plan.

    IFU has been part of the Tax Dialogue from the beginning. We think it is important to be involved in the discussion and debate concerning some of the major challenges and risks facing international business in today’s globalised world regarding tax planning.
