Responsible solutions

Integrating ESG analysis into our investment process is only one part of our responsible stewardship approach for clients. We aim to be a market leader in developing effective solutions that help our clients meet their responsible investment needs and goals. We segment our responsible investment capabilities into five categories, as set-out in the table below. These solutions serve as building blocks that can be combined to create customized client strategies.
