As the sustainable investor for a changing world, BNP Paribas Asset Management is working to provide investors with sustainable investment solutions and investable insights through innovative and actionable research, Alex Bernhardt, the recently appointed global head of sustainability research, explains in this video.
Alex underscores BNPP AM’s long-standing commitment to sustainable investing and the integration of environmental, social and governance criteria. The Sustainability Centre is continuing to evolve and improve the in-house industry-leading ESG scoring platform covering some 13 000 and progressing work on measuring issuers’ ESG quality, including their footprints and impact.
Thematically, the centre covers the energy transition, environmental sustainability, and equality and inclusive growth, supporting the related investment strategies. Other key research areas include an assessment of physical and biodiversity risk, the ‘temperature alignment’ of portfolios to global warming goals, and climate stress testing.
