BNP AM

The sustainable investor for a changing world

Sustainable investing

At BNP Paribas Asset Management, our goal is to integrate a sustainable approach across our investment strategies. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, for applicable strategies, are central to the way we come up with investment ideas, create portfolios, control risk and use our influence with companies and markets to improve sustainability.

Why invest with a sustainable approach

Investing with a sustainable approach can be financially rewarding by, for example, steering clear of companies that are exposed to pollution lawsuits, labour unrest, shareholder disputes or other events that can damage their reputation and business performance.

Our planet is also served better with low-carbon energy, environmental sustainability, and equality and inclusive growth. As an investor, you can help shape a better world through your investment choices.

Our strategies

Our goal is to integrate sustainability across our investment strategies. We define our sustainability approach as follows: ESG integration, stewardship (voting and engagement), a responsible business conduct policy and the implementation of sector-based exclusions, a forward-looking perspective (the “3Es”: Energy transition, Environmental sustainability, Equality and inclusive growth).
