Sustainability Engagement
Sustainability is a key enabler of our ambition
In a world facing multiple systemic threats, we firmly believe that a robust and sustainability approach is integral to generating positive long-term investment outcomes.
By uniting the strengths of our sustainability leadership, we are better positioned than ever to navigate near-term complexity while advancing long term imperatives across a wide spectrum of investment opportunities.
Our integration reinforces our shared commitment to sustainability and the role it plays in delivering risk adjusted returns across the full spectrum of asset classes. High-level, our approaches are already well aligned, but the difference is in the detail. Where there are discrepancies, we are reviewing the methodologies, policies and definitions, to move to a unique, harmonised approach.
What you can expect and when
The legacy entities were already closely aligned in most ESG policies, methodologies, data, reflecting years of investment in sustainability resources and expertise.
Since the merger, we have closely reviewed the approaches developed historically by the entities across asset classes to help define our target approaches for BNPP AM going forward.
New stewardship policy
The new stewardship policy for the combined BNPP AM entity has been in effect since 1 January 2026.
Frameworks and methodology alignment
All other sustainability commitments, policies, frameworks and methodologies are expected to be implemented in portfolios from early 2027.
