ESG factor integration
Our threefold sustainable objective is to uphold fundamental rights, avoid controversial activities and behaviours, and be a responsible stakeholder.
We begin by conducting a thorough normative and negative screening process to avoid controversial activities and behaviours of issuers.
In the second stage, we incorporate positive screening to promote best practices in ESG-matters. This is combined with a stricter review of any controversial activities.
Finally, our approach promotes the sustainable investment objective, with a focus on sustainable investing themes: Apart from their alignment with ESG principes, how do the products and services of the issuer further contribute to the United Nations' 2030 Programme?
We implement a rigorous integration approach across all our strategies that is specific to each asset class.
It is crucial to identify those investments that are most appropriate to successfully carry out our strategies and meet your objectives.
