Amundi’s CSR commitments

CSR AT AMUNDI
It has always been a core principle of Amundi to behave as a responsible financial institution. This commitment is
reflected both in our socially responsible investing and in our own corporate social and environmental responsibility
policy. The objective of this chapter is to give a clear picture of the direct and indirect social and environmental impacts
of Amundi’s business and to show how the Company takes into account, and satisfies, the expectations of its stakeholders.
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.
