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.
It has been more than a year since 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. In the first round of last year, Schroders received the label for 3 funds, to which 3 new funds were added in this round. Schroders is pleased with this recognition of the ESG approach.
