ESG considerations are factors, among many, that may be considered as part of a robust fundamental research process.

Our teams have access to a wide range of information, including the ESG-related practices of companies worldwide.

Our investment teams may question or challenge companies about ESG issues that could have an impact on future value.

We believe the voting of proxies should be managed with the same care as all other elements of the investment process.

Invesco recognises its corporate responsibility to help sustain a healthy, clean environment for future generations.
