Stewardship investing
As a long-term global investor, we know that our performance will only be as sustainable as the world in which we invest. As such, we believe that environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters should not be seen as constraints. They are an opportunity to generate sustainable growth that benefits everyone.
Because the impacts of climate change are becoming more obvious than ever around the world, with negative human, environmental and economic consequences, we have prioritized this issue.

In 2019, we published the fourth edition of our Sustainable Development Action Plan, comprising 27 actions over a two-year period.
In addition to taking ESG criteria into account in our investment analyses and decisions, we encourage open dialogue with the companies in our portfolio and we exercise our voting rights at shareholder meetings.
We consider tax issues to be particularly important and use our position as a long-term investor to increase our support for international initiatives.
