CSR AT AMUNDI
Acting as a responsible financial institution is a core commitment of Amundi’s development strategy.This commitment is reflected
in our socially responsible management and the support we provide to our clients in the form of investment solutions promoting
energy transition. Our commitment is also reflected in our corporate social and environmental policy (CSR). The objective of
this report 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 €1,083 billion of assets under management, Amundi is Europe’s
largest asset management company
(1)
and in the top ten worldwide.
Amundi must act responsibly and ensure that it conducts its business
in the public interest. For this reason, at its creation in 2010, Amundi
made the inclusion of sustainable development and social utility
criteria in its investment policies – in addition to financial criteria – its
fourth fundamental principle.
Today, with close to €168 billion in Socially Responsible Investments
(SRI), Amundi is one of Europe’s most socially committed investors.
Our objective is to increase the inclusion of public interest criteria,
which is to say Environmental, Social and Governance criteria (ESG) in
all of the Group’s investing. Assessing the potential impact of climate
risks on our clients’ investments is also one of our responsibilities.
Amundi is also committed to providing high-performing, transparent
savings and investment solutions to its clients as part of a long-lasting
relationship built on trust.
Finally, 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 objectives. This policy is carried
out both in France and abroad.
