Our corporate responsibility program
We believe strong corporate responsibility (CR) is critical to charting a path to a sustainable and successful future, and one that helps us achieve greater possibilities for our employees, communities, shareholders and clients.
As a responsible investment firm, CR permeates our culture. Trust is built with our clients and stakeholders through our actions, so we act with integrity and consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in our decision-making.
Our CR program prioritizes:
- Our people: supporting the mental and physical health of our employees, building skills for the future of work and fostering a diverse, inclusive and empowered workforce
- Our communities: supporting the local communities in which we live and work
- Our clients: providing a broad range of ESG capabilities aligned to client interests and investment objectives
- Our planet: being good stewards of the world we live in
We have a strong foundation of sustainable programs that support our company’s corporate responsibility efforts, but we recognize that CR is a journey and there is always more we can do. Invesco is devoted to continuously improving our corporate responsibility program and ESG investment stewardship, while fostering greater transparency of this work.

CR governance
We govern our CR efforts through the Invesco Corporate Responsibility Committee (CRC). The CRC is composed of members of the executive leadership team, including members of the Invesco Board. The committee drives the strategy, oversight and governance of our internal programs and operations.
The CRC advises Invesco’s investment and corporate stewardship leaders on core ESG and CR topics, participation in industry advocacy and policy efforts, and charitable and community organizations to enhance our impact in sustainable global efforts. Local and global management teams, including regional managing directors, report to the CRC on matters related to ESG and CR.

The GIC provides oversight to our specialized investment teams and offers a balance of global expertise, support and connectivity. In this way, it helps provide better outcomes for clients with greater consistency over the long term. The GIC ESG Sub-Committee focuses on ESG investment topics, including climate change.
