DPAM ranks first again in the Responsible Investment Brand Index (RIBI™)

BRUSSELS, 29 April 2026 – DPAM, part of Indosuez Wealth Management, ranks first in the top 10 of Responsible Asset Managers worldwide, for the third consecutive year, according to Hirschel and Kramer (H&K) Responsible Investment Brand Index (RIBI) 2026.

In its eighth edition, the Responsible Investment Brand Index (RIBI™) highlights the ability of 632 asset managers globally to translate their responsible investment efforts into their core brand. The index is an indispensable tool and source of information within the asset management industry.

The two RIBI assessment dimensions are:

• Commitment (vertical, hard factors): five weighted-average criteria, such as the level and quality of engagement and stewardship, and strategy and organisation around responsible investment. The evaluation source is based on the Principles for Responsible Investment Transparency Reports: up to 300 parameters are factored in to make up the five top-level criteria of the Commitment rating.

• Brand (horizontal, soft factors): eight criteria, such as the expression of a purpose statement and expression of a values system and whether these link to societal ambitions. This evaluation is based on research and expertise.

As in previous years, the index allows companies to be classified into four categories: Avant-gardist, which are above-average on Commitment rating and Brand rating; Traditionalist, who are above-average on Commitment rating and below-average on Brand rating; Aspirants, above-average on Brand rating and below-average on Commitment rating, and Laggards, below-average on both ratings.

DPAM, as an Avant-gardist, is one of the two companies that have consistently made it to the worldwide top 10 in all eight editions of RIBI. The 2026 results show progress with 22% of firms achieving Avant-Gardist status, up from 20%, and private asset companies improving too. Geographically, Europe remains in the lead for both commitment and brand with France the world’s leading country and Southern Europe making the sharpest regional gains on brand. However, the responsible investment narrative is no longer a European monopoly with Japan having fewer laggards than any country.

Ophélie Mortier, Chief Sustainable Investment Officer at DPAM, comments: ‘We are delighted to once again rank first in the RIBI index. This result reflects our strong commitment to integrating ESG principles into our investment decisions, for the benefit of our clients, our stakeholders and society as a whole. In an increasingly unpredictable global environment, making progress on decarbonisation - and across environmental, social and governance issues more broadly - is more important than ever. These efforts are essential to strengthen both resilience and sovereignty. We remain fully committed.’
