Three of Schroders’ funds recognised by Febelfin for sustainable and socially responsible investment in Belgium

Schroders has announced that three of its funds have been awarded the Febelfin label for sustainable and socially responsible investment. This underlines the importance that Schroders attaches to sustainable investment solutions and creating added-value for investors.

In February 2019, Febelfin, the Belgian federation of the financial sector, announced the technical requirements of its quality standard for sustainable financial products. With this quality standard, the sector aims to encourage a wider and better range of sustainable financial products and to allow the principles of the standard to impact other financial products.

Schroders is pleased to announce that three of its funds have been awarded the Febelfin label, recognising that they meet the highest quality standards for sustainable and social financial products.

• Schroder International Selection Fund (ISF[1]) Global Climate Change Equity
  An actively managed, thematic fund that invests globally in companies that the fund manager believes will benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy.
• Schroder International Selection Fund (ISF) Global Energy Transition
  This fund also invests in companies that will benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy. More specifically, it focuses on the production of renewable energy, the electrification of energy use and more efficient energy consumption.
• Schroder International Selection Fund (ISF) Global Sustainable Convertible Bond
  An actively managed, global convertible bond fund that aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in convertible securities issued by companies that meet the fund manager's sustainability criteria.

Sandra Lequime, Head of Belgium & Luxembourg at Schroders, commented:

"Over the past 20 years, Schroders has prioritised building a sustainable business with a long-term approach. Furthermore, social and environmental changes are happening today faster than ever. That is why we are delighted to have been awarded the label for three areas of expertise. It demonstrates our commitment to the Belgian market and underlines the strength of our sustainable approach."
