Purpose

We analyze ESG risks and opportunities in every company we cover. On-desk regional ESG specialists, supported by abrdn’s central ESG team, provide insight on ESG themes and sectors in local markets.

Connectivity

Our team-based, collaborative approach ensures insights and analysis are continuously shared, interrogated, and debated. In our view, this allows us to invest with conviction in the best long-term investment ideas we can find in these complex, diverse, and fast-moving markets.
