Pillar 4 RENOWNED FOR OUR RESPONSIBLE APPROACH Ostrum AM endeavours to incorporate the entire ESG spectrum into its investment decisions, in keeping with the recommendations set out by the main international standard-setting bodies such as the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) of which we have been a signatory since 2008. An excellent PRI rating The PRI commends the quality and ambitious nature of our approach to responsible investment. Our efforts were rewarded in the form of excellent ratings assigned to each of the modules for which we were assessed (an A+ rating for strategy and governance and A ratings for all asset classes under management, in 2020). The 2021 assessment has not yet been published.3 A carbon policy commended by Reclaim Financee The Reclaim Finance non-governmental organisation designed the Coal Policy Tool as part of its drive to create a climate-friendly form of finance. The tool is used to examine the quality of coal policies applied by financial institutions in order to assess their practices based on five criteria.1 Ostrum AM’s scores in 2021 were among the highest and they were also better than in the previous year.2 Moreover, Reclaim Finance emphasised that the measures we announced after reinforcing our carbon policy on 1st July 2021 were all relevant, with respect to exclusions, dialogue and engagement alike. Ostrum AM was also commended for the high standard of the new principles set out in its upcoming Oil & Gas policy.
