CSR AT AMUNDI

With €985 billion of assets under management, Amundi is Europe’s largest asset management company and in the top ten worldwide. Amundi is obliged to act in a responsible way to ensure that it conducts its business in the public interest. For this reason, one of Amundi’s founding principles from the time of its inception in 2010 has been its investment policies shaped not only by financial criteria but also by sustainability and social utility criterias. Today, with close to €160 billion in SRI funds, Amundi is one of Europe’s most socially committed investors. Its objective is to gradually increase the inclusion of public interest criteria, which is to say environmental, social and governance criteria (ESG) in all of the Group’s investing. The Group believes that far from hindering

financial performance, the inclusion of environmental, social and governance criteria by companies enhances it. Amundi is also committed to provide its clients with high-performing, transparent investment and savings solutions as part of a long-lasting relationship built on trust. Amundi’s aim is to apply the principles of social responsibility to its own operations. Reducing and managing its environmental impact, eliminating discrimination, promoting equal opportunity, ensuring transparency and integrity in its governance, developing a long- term philanthropic policy and encouraging the social involvement of its employees are Amundi’s CSR commitments. This policy is carried out both in France and abroad.
