We actively contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future through impact investing. Impact investments play a crucial role and are defined by us as investments made with the intention to generate measurable social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns.
Impact investing
Through active ownership, we use our influence as an investor to encourage companies to act responsibly. Our goal is to be a constructive partner that contributes to long-term success while helping to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and inclusive world.
Active ownership
We strive to minimize the negative impact on people and the planet with our investment decisions. We do this by setting clear boundaries and minimum standards that all investments must meet. This applies to both companies and countries. We apply exclusions to prevent our clients' money from being invested in activities that cause serious harm to people and the planet. We have defined exclusion rules relating to various topics, see Responsible Investment Policy. These rules apply to all investments we manage.
