What were you doing in 1996? At Candriam, we were busy launching our first responsible fund.
Most investors now require companies to act responsibly in their efforts to meet current and future environmental, social and governance challenges. At Candriam, this goes beyond the words embedded in our name – Conviction AND Responsibility in Asset Management. They are values to which we have strictly adhered for the past 25 years already.
LET ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
Committed to Sustainable Investment for over 25 years now, we currently manage the biggest range of ESG funds in Continental Europe. Almost one third of our AuM is invested in sustainable strategies. Strong, independent research is one of the cornerstones of our pertinent and innovative sustainable investment approach. Our voting policy encourages virtuous corporate behaviour. 10% of the management fees earned from our sustainable investment SICAV is donated to impact projects in education and social inclusion. We launched Candriam Academy to awaken the financial community’s awareness of sustainable investing. Our internal culture and CSR policy overlap. Honesty, however, for us, is the best policy.
