A common sense approach

A common sense approach

We have incorporated ESG into our investment process since 2002. We take a common-sense approach to ESG while at the same time acknowledging the complexity of ESG where developments take place at a whirlwind pace. We continue to learn and fortify the integration of sustainability into our investment process. ​

This is built upon four main pillars. Each method is applied in different circumstances and leads to different investment outcomes. The full potential of a sustainable investment strategy is only realised when applying the methods together.
