A sensitive matter – this is why a sustainable approach is essential
While progress may seem good at first sight, we believe each investment opportunity should be carefully analyzed to make sure that technology is used for good. We would all agree on the advantages of automation of assembly lines in the automobile industry, but what about armament robots? We all extensively use mobile phones and connected apps which are deeply familiar with our daily habits, but what about the potential misuse of personal data?
We got it covered.
This is how we make sure our investments are contributing to a better future.
Our first step is to exclude from our investment universe the companies that breach the principles of the UN Global Compact (for example relative to human rights or labor rights), and we also exclude companies that are involved in controversial activities such as armament, tobacco, oppressive regimes.
Our second step is to make sustainability a core element of our fundamental analysis. On top of analyzing companies fundamentals, our approach looks at their business activities as well as their stakeholders, this means that we analyze the companies’ behavior towards clients, providers, shareholders, and the environment. While we look for organic growth, we want to make sure that this is not at the expense of the customers’ health or wellbeing, the employees’ working conditions, or the environment.
