Sustainability

Sustainability is embedded within BNP Paribas Asset Management’s strategy and investment decision-making. BNP Paribas Asset Management aims to generate long-term sustainable investment returns for its clients based on a unique sustainability-driven philosophy. Among the leaders in thematic investment in Europe, BNP Paribas Asset Management contributes to the energy transition, environmental sustainability and the promotion of equality and inclusive growth.

“BNP Paribas Asset Management teams are now “the sustainable investor for a changing world.“ Aware of our responsibility, we are now more than ever determined to act every day, wherever we operate, in favour of the sustainable economy the world needs, and in doing so, to protect the interests of our clients.“

Our role in society

Climate change, growing social inequalities and environmental damage caused by human activity can have a severe impact on the performance of companies in which asset management companies invest.

To successfully meet today’s challenges and ensure a prosperous and sustainable economy for tomorrow, long-term investors have a role to play by using the leverage that their investments and their voices bring to positively influence companies’ practices. We firmly believe that if the financial sector takes better account of social and environmental externalities, it will deliver value while making the world a better place and the global economy more sustainable.

BNPP AM takes its share of responsibility and intends to be the driving force behind this transformation. Thus, we work with our clients to meet tomorrow’s challenges today and contribute to a more secure economic future.

Our approach

We are committed to integrating sustainable investment practices across our strategies. We define sustainable investment as ESG integration across investments, Stewardship (voting, engagement), Forward-looking perspective (the “3Es”), Responsible Business Conduct and sector-based exclusions.
