Working towards a better future for you
As a responsible investor, we actively engage with companies to encourage positive outcomes on ESG issues that can impact your investment returns. Investing responsibly means being active today, so we can deliver strong performance for decades to come. Here’s how we’re working on issues like climate change, human rights and increasing corporate board diversity.
