How Schroders look out for sustainable investors

Social and environmental change is happening faster than ever – climate change, shifting demographics and the technology revolution are reshaping our planet. A forward looking, active investment approach is needed to comprehend and harness the impact of these forces. This means understanding how a company interacts with society and its environment, as well as analysing its profit lines and the risks posed.

Schroders have been integrating environmental, social and governance considerations in their investment processes for more than 20 years. For the past three years, Schroders have carried out a Global Investor Study to discover people’s views about sustainability, surveying over 22,000 people who invest from 30 countries.
