Social and environmental change is happening faster than ever. Global warming, shifting demographics and the technology revolution are reshaping our planet. Against this backdrop the gap between investment winners and losers is set to widen and conventional financial analysis is likely to fall short.
The Belgian organization Febelfin, in consultation with its stakeholders, has developed a quality standard for sustainable financial products, including investment funds. Products that comply with the requirements for this standard are awarded the sustainability label. Schroders is pleased with this recognition of the ESG approach.
More information on the Febelfin sustainability label can be found on www.towardssustainability.be
As of today, 10 Schroders funds are entitled to carry the Febelfin sustainability label.
This label means that these funds adhere to the highest quality standards for sustainable and socially responsible financial products.
