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.

What our combined approach brings you

We work alongside our clients at every stage of their sustainability journey, offering investment solutions and sustainability approaches to meet their long-term objectives

Full spectrum solutions

Deep expertise and robust data delivering the full spectrum of sustainability solutions across asset classes to support your portfolio goals, underpinned by robust stewardship practices. 

Forward looking

Framework focused on understanding and addressing key sustainability themes of today and tomorrow, helping us unlock opportunities for you and manage system risk.

Embedded across asset classes

Sustainability embedded in our investment approach across liquid and alternative assets, helping us manage long-term risks to create long-term value for you and society.

High standards

High standards continuously upheld in our own practices and disclosures as a corporate, fostering a strong sustainability culture designed to better support you.

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.
