R-co 4Change Green Bonds, Green Bond fund[2]

Towards Sustainability is a label created by the Belgian federation of the financial sector Febelfin as a guarantee of quality for sustainable and socially responsible financial products. Supervised by an independent agency[3], it is one of the most recognised in the European market and one of the most demanding, especially in terms of exclusion. This achievement is in line with our desire to align ourselves with the highest standards in terms of ESG[4] integration.
Through our 4Change range, which showcases our expertise in sustainable finance, we want to offer a wide range of solutions to investors who are looking to combine financial performance with sustainability." said Pierre Baudard, Managing Partner & CEO of Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe. "We are pursuing our fund labelling process in order to integrate the best practices of our industry while validating our credible and professional approach," concluded Ludivine de Quincerot, Head of ESG and Financial Analysis at Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe.
