BECAUSE BEHIND EACH ASSET IS A LIFE GOAL

Behind every asset we manage in our mission to create value for our clients are essential commitments to society: financing retirement, promoting preventive healthcare and providing protection against life’s risks.

With this in mind, we have been committed to sustainable development and responsible finance for more than 35 years1, drawing on our expertise to support the transition. We recognise ESG as a fundamental driver of sustainable value and embed it throughout our investment decision-making process. ESG strategists, analysts and managers work together to build our ESG approach in order to better control risks and identify long-term opportunities.

OUR PRIORITIES IN 2025

1. Reinforce the way in which we direct our engagement initiatives and measure their outcomes;
2. Consolidate the escalation process and its governance;
3. Step up our involvement in financial market initiatives;
4. Assign CSR targets to 100% of Executive Committee members.

EMPOWERING EUROPEAN CITIZENS TO ACHIEVE THEIR LIFE GOALS

As European institutions, our clients are unique. However, they have a common goal: to secure the future of the citizens they serve. 

Because we play a vital role in safeguarding pensions and social protection, financing the transition and contributing to a more secure future, we have a level of responsibility that reflects a shared expectation of accountability. This is why we support our clients in implementing their responsible investment ambitions, taking into account their priorities and specific circumstances. This tailored approach draws on the expertise of our teams, the strength of our responsible investment framework and a trusted relationship built on transparency, dialogue and a commitment to continuous improvement. As an asset manager, our role is to advise clients by sharing our investment convictions and giving them access to our expertise through our range of open-ended funds. We keep them informed about regulatory developments on an ongoing basis. We help them to define their own ESG strategy, which we implement across their dedicated funds and discretionary investment mandates, managed effectively and in close partnership with our clients over the long term..

OUR PRIORITIES IN 2025

1. Help our clients achieve their decarbonisation targets;
2. Roll out a range of transition-centric products;
3. Pursue our continuous improvement drive in order to ensure that we meet our clients’ needs;
4. Launch a sector policy addressing pesticides to promote biodiversity conservation through our investments, following on from the publication of our Palm Oil policy.

OUR COMMITMENTS ARE BROUGHT TO LIFE BY OUR TEAMS

By giving our employees the means to take action, develop their skills and strike a healthy work/life balance, we empower them to be both central to and drivers of our CSR strategy, to bring our purpose to life and to contribute, every day, to addressing the societal and environmental challenges we face. United around a shared ambition, we foster a culture of collaboration, shared responsibility and performance, while ensuring that we offer an inclusive and stimulating working environment.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE IN OUR OPERATIONS

Balanced governance, dialogue with our stakeholders, responsible investment and compliance with strict standards of ethics are the cornerstones of our engagement.
