We are actively committed to a sustainable and inclusive future through impact investing. Impact investments play a crucial role. We define impact investing as investments made with the intention of generating a positive contribution to social or environmental objectives alongside financial returns. In doing so, we aim to make this contribution measurable wherever possible.
Impact investing
Through active ownership, we leverage our influence as an investor to encourage companies to act responsibly. By engaging in dialogue with companies and exercising our voting rights, we highlight issues such as sustainability, good corporate governance, and social responsibility. Our goal is to encourage companies to further improve their performance in these areas.
Active ownership
We aim to minimize the negative impact on people and the planet through 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 employ exclusions to mitigate the risk of our clients' money being invested in activities that, according to our policy, could cause serious harm to people and the environment. We have defined exclusion rules covering various topics in our Responsible Investment Policy. These rules apply to all investments we manage.
