Sustainable Investing

Invest with purpose to support the transition to a more sustainable economy

Overview

As a responsible asset manager, we actively invest for the long term to help our clients prosper and to secure a thriving future for people and the planet. Climate change, and the response to it, are perhaps the most pressing challenges as we pursue that goal.

Investing in companies and projects that are leading the way to a more sustainable and just world not only powers the transition to a net-zero economy but also aims to ensure no one is left behind in that transition, as well as providing the potential to deliver more sustainable financial returns over the long-term.

Our sustainable investing capability aims to target specific sustainability goals around people and planet, alongside financial returns. Investment decisions are guided by both the financial goals and either ESG themes or measurable, positive impact.
