ESG integration
At DPAM our goal is to offer first-rate expertise while promoting our values and convictions. For us, sustainable investing is not just a strategy, it’s our core philosophy and we use a variety of approaches to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in our research and investment processes.
Mainstreaming ESG

Our belief
We believe asset managers have a central role to play in this eco-system.
Our objectives
We have defined the ESG objectives to be integrated at entity and product level.
Our policies
Our objectives are implemented through comprehensive approaches outlined in our ESG-related investment policies. These policies are meticulously aligned with current regulations and best market practice to ensure governance and accountability.
Our ESG solutions
All our ESG products and solutions undergo rigorous screening and assessment processes, which includes stringent risk controls. They are also subject to active ownership practices, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and aligning with our overarching approach.

Integration of sustainability risks
Through the integration of ESG factors, we aim to ensure that sustainability risks are appropriately integrated in our investment decisions and profile assessments.
We consider the environmental, social and governance dimensions of sustainability risks which we systematically analyse by checking: compliance with the Global Standards (including the ten principles of the UN Global Compact); involvement in ESG controversies; ESG risk ratings; and the assessments of third-party experts, reviewed qualitatively by our investment professionals.
The different screening tools we use are described in the methodology section of our Sustainable and Responsible Investment policy. The integration of sustainability risks is closely connected with the priorities we have defined for the Principal Adverse Impact indicators, which are stated on p.63 of the policy. The policy also describes how we integrate:
Environmental risks
notably climate and biodiversity.
Social risks
including supply chain risks, human and labour rights and customer safety.
Governance risks
including public policy, business ethics and corporate governance.
