Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Growth

A unique approach to building a forward-looking sustainable portfolio 

A detailed assessment of sustainability is incorporated into our research process via our proprietary Sustainability Quotient (SQ) framework.
This is an in-depth, forward-looking, qualitative assessment of the long-term sustainability of a company’s business model and growth prospects based on stakeholder relationships. This helps us identify ‘good’ companies that are also good investments. 

Bringing together Schroders’ capabilities to uncover the sustainable winners of the future

A genuine collaboration between the Schroders’ Global & International Equity and Sustainability Teams, leveraging the strength of Schroders’ fundamental research resources and expertise on sustainability and stewardship.
We build upon the work by the Schroders dedicated Sustainability team, who conduct top-down thematic research across areas, such as climate change, the use of plastics and cybersecurity, that complements the bottom-up research carried out by the team.  

Investing is only one piece of the puzzle, active engagement is key 

Sustainable investing is as much about how we own companies as it is about those we choose to buy. As long-term shareholders, we regard ourselves as an active owner of the companies in which we invest. Engagement is therefore central to the strategy’s approach; we believe we can make positive changes to company practices and serve to improve shareholder returns and broader societal outcomes.
