Responsible Investment
We believe in our corporate duty to contribute towards a more sustainable future. As such, our investment approach is always influenced by Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) factors. Through implementing ESG values, our clients can better understand the true value of their assets whilst ensuring companies globally act in a responsible manner to benefit the society as a whole.
Recognition of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) issues
We consider Environmental, Social and Governance issues to be important factors when analysing a company’s sustainability and we strive to incorporate these principles into our overall investment approach.
We have established a dedicated committee to discuss the key policies relating to ESG issues on a firm-wide basis. Our ESG committee includes members from Investment Management and Research, Client Services, and Corporate Office divisions.
Nomura Asset Management became a signatory of the United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) in March 2011.
We believe that by agreeing to the below principles we are confirming our desire to incorporate environmental, social and corporate governance issues in our investment management operations.
