Sustainability

The iMGP approach to Sustainability

At iM Global Partner, we have long acknowledged the critical role sustainability risks play in the investment process, making them a core element of our investment philosophy. We believe the asset management industry must take an active role as a catalyst for change, addressing today’s most pressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges.

A Statement from our CEO

In our industry, adopting sustainability practices is no longer optional. But it should be so much more than a mandatory requirement, it should be something that is at the core of what your company stands for and how you behave. At iM Global Partner, not only do we believe that embedding sustainability policies and practices can lead to a more successful and competitive business through increased efficiencies and reduced costs, but that we can actually motivate our employees to lead more sustainable lifestyles, be more innovative in their thinking and indeed attract new talent to our organisation.

Our ESG commitments

    Today, a majority of our Partners have become signatories themselves, while the remaining are actively exploring this possibility.

  • Tackling environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity as an asset management firm is a challenging endeavor. As an initial step, we found it most relevant to measure iM Global Partner’s carbon footprint to develop a better understanding of our impact as a company and identify areas where this footprint could be most efficiently reduced. Measured for the first time in 2021, we have continued to carry out an annual carbon footprint calculation ever since.
