Our initiatives in favour of sustainable investment
We are confident that addressing sustainability challenges is a structural and unmissable trend in our business
For this reason, we are developing a sustainable approach that is common to all our investments. As a financial company and stakeholder in our society, we are also seeking to apply to ourself a number of commitments as an organisation and supplier of investment solutions and to participate through initiatives in steering financial flows into sustainable investments.
Engaging collectively
We have chosen to join a limited number of initiatives that are directly referring to our investment themes, in order to be involved in developing and disseminating best practices. Our contributions to the initiatives presented below are detailed in our 2021 engagement report.
We take part in working groups that include financial actors to promote credible and pragmatic sustainable finance that is applicable to all asset management companies:
■ Member of the Responsible Investment Committee of the French Asset Management Association (AFG) ■ Participation in AFG’s fossil fuels working group which in October 2021 published a Guide on Developing a Fossil Fuels Strategy ■ Member of Finance for Tomorrow, a Paris-based initiative, member of the impact finance working group since 2021 and member of the biodiversity working group since 2022
■ Contribution to ADEME, a Paris-based initiative dedicated to reviewing commercial allegations of financial products’ environmental impact since 2022
