OVERVIEW
Amundi was founded in 2010 as result of a merger between Crédit Agricole Asset Management and Société Générale Asset Management. A client focused asset management company, it has 5,400 employees across 35 countries, six international investment hubs as well as financial and extra financial research capabilities.
Responsible investment is one of Amundi’s core values and an essential component of its investment management approach. As a responsible asset manager, Amundi sees its role as delivering long term sustainable value for its clients and all of its stakeholders, by taking into account the major challenges faced by the world and society. Amundi believes that the private sector must integrate environmental, societal and governance (“ESG”) factors in its analysis and decisions. Amundi gives three reasons for this. First, economic and financial actors carry a strong responsibility towards society. Second, the integration of ESG factors in investment decisions is a driver of long-term financial performance. Third, the acceleration of Amundi’s ESG ambition is the first lever of growth for Amundi globally.
With respect to that latter factor, Amundi states that its ambition is to confirm its position as a world leader in responsible investment for a fair transition, with the objective of being carbon neutral by 2050. In its recently released “2025 ESG Ambition Plan”, Amundi puts forward its further ambition for growth in passive management and the creation of liquid alternative investment, acknowledging the “ESG transformation” as a driver of growth.
Amundi has won a number of international awards for its work in responsible investment including the highest possible rating in all categories of assessment by the Principles of Responsible Investment. There is an Amundi Research Centre that contains publications related to its latest research and insights. This includes podcasts and video discussions that cover ESG related topics.
