Making a Difference
Responsible Investment Report 2020
Jean Raby, CEO, introduces Natixis Investment Managers’ inaugural Responsible Investment Report titled ‘Making A Difference’
Natixis Investment Managers’ 2020 Responsible Investment Report explains our approach to ESG and sustainable investing. It also outlines the processes that our 20+ affiliates use to integrate ESG into their investment decisions. And it highlights our latest thinking on a number of key challenges we face as a responsible investor. Fundamentally, we believe responsible investment can make a difference. It can help identify risk. And it can drive financial performance. It can even achieve positive social and environmental change. To do all this, however, asset managers must be clear in their approach – and clear in their purpose and objectives.
