Approach and solutions

Investment approach

We have been evolving our approach to sustainable investing since 1992, with our first ethical fund launched in 1994. We consider ESG factors, in combination with traditional financial considerations, to assess the financial risks and opportunities that impact decision-making. Our sustainable investing approach offers: Embedded ESG expertise – our global Sustainability Group works closely with ESG experts embedded throughout different regions, asset classes and business functions; to offer comprehensive insight. Proprietary process, research and tools supporting investment critical insight - with added rigour, based on our own proprietary toolkit; complementing a broad range of third-party sources. An active ownership approach, which seeks to enhance and protect the value of portfolios by actively engaging with companies we invest in and using our voting rights to encourage progress in sustainability.
