Understand sustainable investing

Let’s talk about sustainable investing.
Some people say – “It’s just greenwashing” or “It’s just marketing”… or they think it’s as simple as excluding a few rogue companies from a portfolio. In reality, things are rarely that ‘simple’.

For many people, plastic is just bad. But we know that it really depends on what you use it for. How about the plastic used to build sustainable robots, wind turbines or lightweight cars?

Most believe that aviation, the automotive and heavy industry are the biggest CO2 polluters. We know that if you look further, the facts will show that even the carbon emissions produced by information and communication technology rival those of the global aviation industry.

And when people say, “Get rid of palm oil”… We know it’s not that simple. Instead of banning palm oil altogether, Robeco is working hard to change the industry and make it sustainable. 

At Robeco, we measure, test, and revise our measurements based on what we learn to be true about the world, not just what we feel to be true. When it comes to sustainable investing, Robeco has always led the pack.In partnership with our center for sustainable investing expertise, RobecoSAM, we use facts and hard data to assess companies’ sustainability credentials.

We integrate ESG insights into every strategy and offer thematic funds that focus on impact. And we actively engage with companies to change their practices…if they don’t, we will steer clear of them.

We think investing is about generating financial returns and creating well-being: to preserve the planet for future generations… …and we firmly believe that the companies taking sustainability seriously today will be the ones making money tomorrow …

Our approach to sustainable investing? Follow facts, not emotions."
