Candriam fully integrates the principles of sustainable and responsible investing in its strategies and is able to evidence the impact on our portfolios to assist our clients’ understanding of their underlying investments. As a signatory to the Montreal Carbon Pledge Initiative in 2015, Candriam has undertaken to regularly publish the carbon footprint of its SRI funds.

Candriam’s evaluation of its portfolios’ carbon footprint takes into account scopes 1 and 2 of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the different private issuers included in the SRI funds and their benchmark indices. These GHG emissions are standardised with respect to issuer turnover (tons of C02 emitted per million dollars of turnover), thus enabling a comparison among differently sized companies within the respective portfolios.

All Candriam’s SRI funds have a carbon footprint of 168.5 tons C02 / USD million of turnover, i.e., a footprint that is 40% lower than that of the composite benchmark index.

100% = 3 441 404 457 USD 

This evaluation is one of the environmental indicators on which are based SRI-fund ESG indicators.
