 Investisseur responsable, engagé de longue date dans la prise en compte des enjeux du développement durable, BNP Paribas Asset Management a pour priorité un seul objectif: délivrer, sur le long terme, des retours sur investissement durable pour ses clients. Il y a deux types d’investisseurs: les future takers qui vont attendre que la structure de l’économie évolue, que les pouvoirs publics prennent un certain nombre de décisions pour en saisir les opportunités et il y a les future makers qui vont contribuer à changer les pratiques des acteurs – émetteurs, pouvoirs publics, régulateurs – pour façonner avec eux un avenir plus durable. Nous entendons faire partie de la communauté des « future makers », et nous vous invitons à la rejoindre.

In a fast changing world, our focus is on achieving long-term sustainable investment returns for our clients. In line with this, BNP Paribas Asset Management (“BNPP AM”) is committed to integrating sustainable investment practices across its strategies. There are two types of investors: the future takers who wait for the structure of the economy to change, and for public authorities to make decisions before seizing opportunities. And then there are the future makers, who use their leverage with key industry players such as issuers, public authorities and regulators, to help shape a more sustainable future. We are committed to being a “future maker”, using our investments – and our influence with companies and governments – to advocate for a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable and inclusive economy. We invite you to join us.
