Responsible investment

Companies, investors and asset managers are now taking on the same responsibility – to rethink our practices and shift them towards more models that are more virtuous for both the planet and society as a whole.

Responsible investment is an approach that complements traditional financial analysis of issuers with extra-financial analysis. The latter aims to better manage all the risks to which companies are exposed in order to generate more sustainable returns. Extra-financial analysis addresses all environmental, social and governance issues, such as board independence, gender diversity, water management, carbon emission reduction, respect for human rights, etc.

Amundi is a pioneer in responsible investment and an advocate of a just transition. As part of Amundi Group, at Sabadell Asset Management we believe that companies and financial players have a responsibility to address today's major challenges, specifically environmental transition and social cohesion. That is why we integrate financial and non-financial analysis into our investment decisions.

Since 2010, we have held a conviction: to invest while being aware of the impact on the planet and on society. The integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria is fundamental to our investment processes. We have two focuses: the fight against climate change and social inequalities.

We foster continuous dialogue with shareholders to encourage and support companies in improving their non-financial performance. At Sabadell Asset Management we have two voting priorities at General Meetings: contributing to environmental transition and social cohesion.
