Investing sustainably
Sustainability has been embedded in our DNA for more than two decades. We take a multi-dimensional approach to investing across climate, nature and social equity.
Our expertise
Our expertise is integrated across investment capabilities, risk management, sustainability research, and our approach to stewardship.
Our approach
Our approach enables our clients to balance sustainability ambitions with risk-return objectives, drawing on a deep bench of expertise. This is guided by a forward-looking framework centred on three themes:
Energy transition, supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy
Ecosystems, protecting environment, biodiversity and natural resources
Equality, promoting social inclusion, fair governance, and societal equity
We aim to contribute meaningfully to real world outcomes through sustainable thematic investment and stock selection as well as through active stewardship. We engage constructively with issuers, partners, and policy-makers to help drive positive change, uphold high standards with our own corporate practices and disclosures and foster a culture of sustainability through employee engagement and education.
We have identified four megatrends shaping societal change, the economy, and financial markets: environmental pressures, geopolitical shifts, demographic change and innovation. By analysing these, we seek to identify risks and opportunities and to inform our investment decisions for a more sustainable future. Learn more about our thematic investing.
Reports and policies
We have documented our approach to responsible investing and provide regular updates on our progress towards meeting our sustainable commitments.

- investment advice.
Opinions included in this material constitute the judgement of the investment management company at the time specified and may be subject to change without notice. The investment management company is not obliged to update or alter the information or opinions contained within this material. Investors should consult their own legal and tax advisors in respect of legal, accounting, domicile and tax advice prior to investing in the financial instrument(s) in order to make an independent determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment therein, if permitted. Please note that different types of investments, if contained within this material, involve varying degrees of risk and there can be no assurance that any specific investment may either be suitable, appropriate or profitable for an investor’s investment portfolio.
Given the economic and market risks, there can be no assurance that the financial instrument(s) will achieve its/their investment objectives. Returns may be affected by, amongst other things, investment strategies or objectives of the financial instrument(s) and material market and economic conditions, including interest rates, market terms and general market conditions. The different strategies applied to financial instruments may have a significant effect on the results presented in this material. Past performance is not a guide to future performance and the value of the investments in financial instrument(s) may go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the amount they originally invested.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment risk: The lack of common or harmonised definitions and labels integrating ESG and sustainability criteria at EU level may result in different approaches by managers when setting ESG objectives. This also means that it may be difficult to compare strategies integrating ESG and sustainability criteria to the extent that the selection and weightings applied to select investments may be based on metrics that may share the same name but have different underlying meanings. In evaluating a security based on the ESG and sustainability criteria, the Investment Manager may also use data sources provided by external ESG research providers. Given the evolving nature of ESG, these data sources may for the time being be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. Applying responsible business conduct standards in the investment process may lead to the exclusion of securities of certain issuers. Consequently, performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of relatable strategies that do not apply such standards.
