As part of its commitment to more responsible financing, Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe has been awarded the SRI label for three funds in its 4Change range: R-co 4Change Climate Equity Europe, R-co 4Change Climate Credit Euro and R-co 4Change Human Values.
This label is part of a more global approach to integrate environmental, social and governance criteria at the heart of our management strategies.
The transition to a low-carbon economy is a performance driver. R-Co 4Change Climate Equity Europe and R-Co 4Change Climate Credit Euro’s stock selection criteria are extended to consider the risks associated with climate change. The active management of carbon intensity meets a twofold target: a carbon intensity at least 20% lower than that of the benchmark; a reduction in the portfolio's carbon intensity by 5% p.a. on average by 2030.
The R-co 4Change Human Values fund focuses on companies that integrate societal and environmental challenges in their business models, seeing human capital as one of the main drivers of sustainable growth.
“The ‘4Change’ range comprises the funds that strive to combine financial performance, enhanced ESG selection, and the quest for impact as central pillars of their strategies. Above all, the management team seeks to ensure that its investment choices are on a sustainable trajectory both in terms of energy and societal transition.” commented Didier Bouvignies, Managing Partner, Head of Asset Management at Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe.
