Broader adoption of environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing is now accelerating in Asia. In particular, we're seeing a greater push by leading institutions or governments in embracing ESG. Over the last year, we have seen sustainable investment move to the forefront in Asia, with an ever-increasing number of events, conferences, media articles and conversations with our clients focusing on ESG. At BNP Paribas AM, we believe in a world with a low-carbon, more sustainable and more inclusive economic growth model. We are taking steps to direct our clients' investments towards sustainable solutions, and at the same time using our influence as shareholders to support those companies in which we invest in their transition to more responsible business practices. Ligia Torres, CEO Asia-Pacific, BNP Paribas Asset Management says "Like every company, we seek performance and growth. But growth has no meaning unless it benefits all of society. Our vision is clear: to contribute to a better future through our responsible investment policy."
