  • We contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by integrating material ESG information in our investment process along two main dimensions:

    • Risk management: we do not invest in companies where we deem environmental, ethical or governance risks to be too high, or in companies whose business conduct is contrary to our ESG guidelines

    • •Investment opportunities:  we actively seek growth themes that contribute to sustainable economic growth

  • We continuously research ways to develop investment criteria and processes that result in sustainable investment portfolios

  • We seek appropriate disclosure on ESG from the firms we invest in, and we are an active shareholder in our investee companies

  • We have signed the UN PRI and are also a CDP Investor signatory.  The Principles represent an objective for all Funds under management

  • We have pledged to become climate neutral by year end 2020 in recognition of the UN climate initiative “Climate Neutral Now”

  • We promote acceptance and implementation of the UN and CDP Principles through communication with our clients and business community in general (e.g. our CEO is Chairman of “CICERO Shades of Green”, the leading provider of second opinion on green bonds)
