For over 30 years, Amundi has been committed to acting as a responsible financial institution with Responsible Investing as a founding principle and core commitment of Amundi's development strategy. This commitment is reflected both in our responsible investment process and the solutions range Amundi has developed, to help investors define and implement their responsible investment strategy.
Assessing the ESG quality of an issuer is key for investment decisions, not only to take into account the sustainable risks that might weaken the issuer’s financial strength, but also to assess the product’s impact on key issues that represent a systemic risk for society. There are nevertheless data sources that are underused and could, if correctly analyzed, strengthen our ESG assessment.
Climate risks are rising in Asia. So an urgent question for financial markets becomes: what impact is the region’s green fixed income having on climate change mitigation? And could it do more?
Amundi’s insights provide a global perspective and greater understanding of ESG factors, including their influence on the long-term sustainability of a company’s business, investor preferences, the regulatory landscape, and potential impact on global markets overall. Our research and investment processes are further strengthened by leveraging the extensive experience and ESG related resources of Amundi.
