Our responsible investment beliefs

Returns

Responsibility

We have a responsibility to many stakeholders. When we allocate capital, we conduct extensive research into potential environmental and societal outcomes

Materiality

ESG factors are financially material, albeit not all to the same degree. And patience is required, because the time horizons of ESG outcomes and investment returns are not always aligned

Engagement

Engagement with consequences is the best way to deliver long-term, systemic change on a global scale

Targeting long-term responsible investing goals

In partnership with, and on behalf of, our clients we target a broad range of ESG objectives. These include:

Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner across all assets under management
Setting an interim target of 70% of eligible AUM to be managed in alignment with this net-zero ambition by 2030
Achieving net-zero carbon across our real estate portfolio by 2050 [1]

L&G as at May 2024. For further information on our responsible investing goals, please visit our Active Ownership page

[1] For this first interim target, unveiled as part of the Net Zero Asset Manager initiative, we have excluded Government securities and Derivative assets due to lack of clear industry methodologies to account for these asset classes to date.

It should be noted that diversification is no guarantee against a loss in a declining market.
