Our approach to sustainable finance goes beyond complying with current standards. Where possible, we aim to deliver tangible value through proprietary data insights, measurable climate actions and active engagement.
By steering CO2 emissions, enhancing climate resilience and promoting strong governance, we turn responsibility into opportunity: delivering tailored investment solutions reflecting our clients’ preferences. Our commitment to responsible investment is embedded in every asset class, creating long-term value for our clients and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Turning ESG into action
We focus on what we believe truly matters: delivering smart, innovative, and attractive sustainable investment solutions that drive real-world impact, while upholding fiduciary duty and clients’ interests.
We operate on deep expertise embedded across the entire organisation. This integrated approach ensures that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are a driver of sustainable growth for our stakeholders and the society.
Sustainability focus areas
As sustainability preferences, regulations, and methodologies continue to evolve rapidly, we take a forward-looking approach to shape our sustainable investment solutions. Across our asset classes, we focus our efforts on three core areas: Climate and Nature, Good Governance, as well as People and Wellbeing, aiming that our products not only meet regulatory standards but also deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes for clients and society alike.
We set clear ambition levels across our investments; in areas like infrastructure and real estate, we take direct climate actions, and in securities, we focus on credible, long-term progress through active stewardship.
