Collaborations
Working together
As a sustainable partner we believe in sharing our knowledge and working with external partners. We have signed up to various organisations that improve knowledge and impact in the field of sustainability.
We are also a shareholder of the Belgian impact investment firm Incofin Investment Management and partnered with the Hugo Observatory at the University of Liege to create a Paris performance ranking, tracking nations progress towards the commitments of the Paris Agreement.
Member and Signatory
We are a member of organisations that promote sustainable principles, advocate for sustainable investment and provide ongoing insight into ESG challenges and opportunities. Many of these organisations also facilitate collaborative engagement.
We joined the UN PRI in 2011. Having always taken a holistic approach to investing we recognise that environmental, social, and governance issues are interconnected. As a result, we are members and supporters of organisations and initiatives focused on both environmental and social priorities.
Environment
We joined the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative in 2022 to increase global financial ambition in the fight against climate change.
DPAM became a signatory to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations in 2018. One year later we joined Climate Action 100+ and became a signatory of FAIRR, a collaborative engagement initiative aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the food value chain. We joined the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge in 2020 which calls on financial leaders to protect and restore biodiversity through their activities and investment decisions.
Social
We have taken steps to support sustainable investments that respect fundamental human rights by joining the Investor Alliance for Human Rights in June 2020. We also committed to promoting the responsible use of digital rights and technologies (including facial recognition technology) in 2021.
More recently, we joined Advance, a social collaborative initiative launched by UN PRI, which aims to be the second-largest collaborative initiative after Climate Action 100+.
