Processed food companies are highly dependent on the agribusiness sector. They therefore have a key role to play in protecting biodiversity. They also have a major interest in doing so, as the destruction of ecosystems has a direct impact on their business model and the long-term sustainability of their businesses. Adapting practices and changing behaviour is a vital response to consumer and shareholder expectations, whose awareness regarding the environmental impact of production methods and supply chains is increasing constantly. As an investor, Ostrum Asset Management (Ostrum AM) uses stewardship, dialogue and voting policy to curb the most harmful practices and encourage sustainable innovation. 

Here at Ostrum AM, we place corporate responsibility at the core of what we do as asset managers and the way we operate as a company. We have been committed to responsible investment for many years now, endeavouring to build lasting relations with our clients on the foundations of responsibility and transparency while also being an exemplary employer and a company capable of contributing positively to our society.

Pursuing our ambitious ESG-CSR policy, Ostrum AM has joined the Climate Action 100+ initiative as an investor participant.
