Sustainable investing

One goal, many paths

Moving the world to a more sustainable future is an incredibly complex task. One made more complicated by the fact that everyone has a slightly different view on how best to achieve it. Similarly, there is no one way to succeed when it comes to sustainable investing, but with more than 15 investment managers, each with their own distinctive approach to active management we are up to the challenge.

We certainly don’t have all the answers, but we do have a sustainable investing legacy that stretches all the way back to 19841, a deep understanding of the complexity confronting investors and an offering that includes responsible, sustainable and impact investment vehicles across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, private assets and liquid alternatives.

Thinking sustainably

Nathalie Wallace, Global Head of Sustainable Investing at Natixis IM, outlines how clients are being transitioned to sustainable approaches.

Our sustainable investing framework

Understanding the changing landscape, mapping the tectonic regulatory shifts and charting safe passage between what companies say and what they actually do requires an active approach, a long-term mindset and, most importantly, expertise.

Our framework divides the sustainable investing universe into three broad categories - responsible, sustainable and impact strategies and is designed to help clients better navigate the ever-expanding sustainable investing universe.
