Responsible Ownership

A global leader in investing responsibly

We integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our investment process.

We believe it’s important because a company’s approach to managing ESG risks and opportunities can have a meaningful impact on its long-term viability and success.

Over the long term, we believe companies and assets with sound ESG management are more likely to increase in value. By contrast, companies that poorly manage ESG risks have the potential to destroy shareholder value and may also harm the broader community and environment.
