Sustainability initiatives at AG

At AG, we are convinced that sustainable and responsible investing is critical to a successful long-term investment strategy. Environmental, social and governance factors (a.k.a. ESG factors) can also have a real impact on investment risk and performance.

This is why AG's general investment policy (FR - NL) always takes ESG risk scores into account in its analysis before investing in certain companies, and also ensures that controversial sectors are excluded.

For interested investors, AG has developed Branch 23 (FR - NL) products that take the approach to sustainable and responsible investing even further.
