Our Sustainable Investing capabilities
At Invesco, we have been implementing sustainability strategies for over 30 years. Each of our investment centers has a unique approach defined in their investment process as well as the respective asset class. We offer a variety of sustainability implementation techniques which reflect clients’ diverse needs.

ESG-focused AUM includes our Sustainability-dedicated product offerings (including portfolios and mandates across a variety of strategies, geographies, and client types). To be included within the category of ESG-focused AUM, a portfolio or account must have binding sustainable investing criteria above minimum regulatory requirements.
