Responsible investment ETFs provide attractive growth potential while supporting the transition to a greener economy.
Securities held in our responsible investment ETFs must meet strict selection criteria.
Inspired by the United Nations Global Compact, we exclude companies that profit from the sale of controversial weapons, or from the production and/or manufacturing of tobacco.
Each company’s environmental, social and governance practices (ESG), measuring risks and impacts on long-term investment value are taken into consideration. The securities are then analyzed along predefined ESG objectives and performance criteria and positions are held in only the top performers—i.e. "best in class."
Companies selected for our RI ETF portfolios are also subject to our shareholder engagement policies. As shareholders, we will work with management teams to influence the companies through open and direct dialogue, exercising voting rights and through submitting proposals designed to improve the companies positioning from a variety of Societal, Governance or Environmental perspectives.
