Groupama Asset Management is convinced that good Sustainable Development practices applied to financial management, i.e., Responsible Investment (RI) or Socially Responsible Investment (SRI), are consistent with the quest for long-term financial performance and a long-term approach to investment.
Groupama Asset Management's strategy is perfectly consistent with the Groupama group's sustainable development policy, which makes Socially Responsible Investment one of the pillars of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. In line with its management culture, within its activity development model, Groupama Asset Management is tending toward a CSR policy.
Groupama Asset Management is convinced that good Sustainable Development practices and integration of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges into financial management not only create value but also are consistent with the goal of long-term economic and financial performance. RI (or SRI) is, in fact, the trend of Sustainable Development in finance, making it a responsible approach for investors in terms of financing the economy.
Very early on, RI (or SRI) formed part of Groupama Asset Management’s positioning. Since the 2000s, the asset management company has incorporated the challenges of sustainable development into its financial management tools. From the beginning, it also chose to integrate non-financial dimensions into its Financial and Extra-Financial Analysis (AFEF) Department. SRI analysts nurture and enrich fundamental and credit analysis, working in tandem with financial analysts in order to deliver assessments and recommendations on sectors and issuers.
This strategy forms part of Groupama AM’s corporate and fiduciary responsibility to its clients and stakeholders, to promote the development of long-term savings in the service of more responsible and sustainable financing of the economy.
