Sustainability factors are an important ingredient in our investment decision making process. We believe in investing sustainably to preserve and enhance the long-term market value and income generation capacity of investment assets, where applicable. By doing so, it helps us to achieve our sustainable investing goals and those of our clients, drive better performance and realize a better environment for people everywhere. In this way, we aim to improve the expected risk-adjusted return for our clients. The Sustainability Committee is responsible for overseeing the direction, priorities and implementation of our sustainable investing initiatives. Senior leaders across our business make up this Committee. The Sustainable Investment Council is a sub-committee of the Sustainability Committee.
