We face interlinked environmental crises, from climate breakdown, extreme weather, and species loss to water scarcity and unsustainable food production. We take action in our operations, but our greatest impact and influence is through how we invest our customers’ and clients’ money.
De wereld staat voor veel sociale uitdagingen, van ongelijkheid tot vergrijzing en armoede. We willen het bewustzijn vergroten en positieve verandering stimuleren door eerlijke en inclusieve werkplekken, gelijke kansen en contact te maken met mensen die geïsoleerd zijn van de samenleving.

Our ESG house score is designed to shed light on a company’s management of ESG risks. We designed a proprietary ESG house score to supplement our existing analysis. The system draws on more than 100 internal and external data points from third-party providers while taking into account the factors that we feel are most relevant or important for sectors, regions and companies. to arrive at a single number, or score.
We are active equity investors. We believe that deep fundamental research, a disciplined investment process and full analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues is the most effective way to deliver long-term returns for our clients.

Ons MAIS-team (Multi-Asset Investment Solutions) beheert een breed scala aan strategieën en volgt uiteenlopende beleggingsbenaderingen. Ons vermogen om ESG-factoren te integreren, varieert per portefeuille. Wanneer wij bijvoorbeeld de actieve aandelen- en kredietfondsen van abrdn gebruiken, worden ESG-factoren ondersteund door een uitgebreid rentmeesterschapproces en is de ESG-integratie uitgebreid, maar wanneer wij allocaties doen met behulp van derivaten of passieve indextrackers kan de mogelijkheid om ESG-factoren te integreren beperkt zijn.
