Sustainable investment is an integral part of our goal to deliver attractive long-term returns to customers while influencing companies and contributing positively to the societies that we are part of. 

Sustainable investment is about making sound investments. Sustainability is therefore an integral part of our investment teams’ investment processes, where they consider environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) matters alongside the financial aspects. This helps them make better-informed investment decisions and create long-term value for our customers. We call our approach ‘ESG Inside’ to highlight that ESG is an integral part of our investment processes, products and advisory.

ESG integration approach depends on strategy and asset class
Integrating ESG in to the investment process is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It differs depending on the investment strategy and asset class. Investment teams and portfolio managers are responsible for addressing and managing ESG issues that pose a risk or an opportunity as they may affect their investments and thereby the ability to deliver returns to customers.

The new annual report highlights our sustainable investment approach and investment teams share how they integrate sustainability across investment strategies and asset classes.
