ACT AS A RESPONSIBLE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

Because trust rests on ethics and accepted responsibilities, Amundi is committed to acting as a responsible financial institution. This

commitment has two thrusts: (i) promoting responsible finance that respects human values and (ii) respecting the clients’ interests.

2.1

Promoting responsible finance

Amundi factors public interest criteria (ESG — environmental, social and governance — criteria) into its investment analyses and decisions, along with financial criteria. We are convinced that this approach, which takes a 360-degree view of companies, secures value creation. More specifically, it is applied in Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), under stringent rules.

The ESG policy is based on our conviction that a sound policy of sustainable development enables issuers to manage risks better and thereby improve their operating efficiency. This is a way for the investor to be protected against long-term risk, such as financial, regulatory, operational or reputational risk, and also be an entirely responsible investor.

The sharp increase in SRI assets managed by Amundi at the end of 2015 is largely attributable to the inclusion of client assets managed for the last three years as an SRI test under the Amundi

approach certified by AFNOR. At the end of the test period, the outcome being positive, the assets in question will remain under SRI management and thus be reported as such henceforth.
