SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our world. They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and prosperity.

OUR GOALS & OBJECTIVES

  1. We partner with clients and stakeholders to mobilize capital at scale for a sustainable, low-carbon economy. Our businesses strive to deliver environmental, social and governance (ESG) solutions that help reduce risk, enhance value and expand the frontiers of sustainable finance. We aim to operate sustainably and to disclose our global progress.
  2. Our resolve is to further an Inclusive Green Economy, a thriving economy that delivers the linked economic, social and environmental outcomes sought by the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. It follows key principles, each of which draws on important precedents in international policy, and which together can guide economic reform in diverse contexts.
  3. Our actions promote environmental or social characteristics and funds with a sustainable investment objective. We consider ESG criteria alongside financial analysis to identify risks and opportunities throughout the investment process, which may lead to decisions to avoid, include, or size certain investments.
  4. We analyze how companies work with sustainability issues, enabling us to make the best possible investment decisions for the benefit of our customers. We engage in dialogue with the executive management of companies and vote at their general meetings to influence their behavior and encourage more sustainable practices.
