HELPING TO ADDRESS THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE
Climate solutions
Through our sustainable and climate transition strategies, we are committed to investing in climate solutions and companies which are leading the transition to net zero.
Investment restrictions
According to client preferences, utilize scientific research to air investment decisions where an activity or company's business model is incompatible with a low-carbon world.
Though-leading research
The integration of climate change considerations into our investment research is supported by rigorous analyses and data.
Active ownership
As active managers, we believe our role is to understand how companies will transition, track the credibility of their commitments, and engage with them to track progress.
Collaboration
We see value in collaborating with other like-minded investors and stakeholders to help our clients with their active ownership objectives.
Not all products are available to all investors or in all jurisdictions. Strategies are generally offered through locally licensed affiliates. The Climate Change Action Plan summarizes Aegon Asset Management's approach to responsible investing and active ownership across our fixed income, multi-asset and equities investment platforms within the various Aegon Asset Management affiliates.
