Responsible and sustainable investing

Responsible and sustainable investment is crucial to creating and protecting long-term value.

Companies that are successful in avoiding ESG risks and capturing ESG opportunities will outperform in the long term, as they will be better positioned to deal with growing resource scarcity, consumer demands, and regulation, among others. Additionally, such companies will achieve higher growth, cost savings and profitability in the long run, while strengthening their relationships with the stakeholders and improving their reputation
