According to a number of employees, everyday life at the green asset manager Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has involved 70-hour workweeks and a tough psychological work environment.
This is according to 25 current and former employees who Berlingske has spoken to. The employees are anonymous due to fear of their careers if they come forward with their names.
The indications of a problem have also been noticed by the trade union Djøf. This is what consulting manager Mette Knudsen tells Berlingske:
- When we go back three years, we can see that inquiries from members at CIP stand out with an overrepresentation of inquiries about stress and mental health in the work environment, compared to what we normally see.
Djøf cannot state exactly how many and what inquiries have been received from members working in CIP.
Some of Berlingske's sources have described the work environment as "disgusting" and "toxic".
CIP: We want a respectful work environment
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners was founded in 2012 by a group of former employees of Dong Energy. The company works in such a way that it raises capital from external investors, which is then invested in projects within renewable energy.
CIP itself is responsible for the design, operation and possible sale of the projects in the long term. In total, 13 funds are managed with a total investment of 32 billion euros for around 180 institutional investors from all over the world.
CIP's management did not want to be interviewed by Berlingske. However, in a written response, Mads Skovgaard-Andersen, a member of the executive board, writes that they want a respectful working environment where there is zero tolerance for harassment.
CIP also emphasizes in its response that the company is very focused on ensuring good working conditions for its employees.
