Systematic integration and management of environmental, social and governance risks

As a global custodian, we have an important role to play in helping our clients adopt and integrate ESG policies and demonstrate the value these can bring to an organisation.

In this context, we became the first global custodian to sign the UN supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in September 2016.

By signing to the PRI in the “service provider category”, we are committed to providing, developing and promoting services that support clients’ implementation of the PRI’s six Principles.
