Investing themes that shape the world
“This integrated report aims to give our clients, stakeholders, and regulators a clearer view of how sustainability is embedded into our strategies and decisions and how our work is driving meaningful change.”š¬
Hyewon Kong, Director, Sustainable Investment
This year, we have brought together all of our major sustainability-related disclosures into this single, comprehensive Sustainable Investment Report, aligned with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework.
However, our goal remains to deliver meaningful impact alongside long-term financial value.
The sustainable investment landscape is evolving at pace, driven by regulatory developments, investor expectations, and the urgency of addressing climate and biodiversity challenges.
Our Corporate Sustainability Strategy ensures we remain at the forefront of these changes, integrating sustainability into our investments, operations and corporate culture.
Built around three core pillars ā our role as a sustainable investor, responsible business and employer, and engaged corporate citizen ā this strategy underpins our commitment to delivering strong long-term financial and sustainability outcomes.
By integrating sustainability principles into decision-making, we seek to drive value creation for our investors while contributing positively to the broader economy and environment.
