Responsible Investing Throughout AB

To implement our responsible investing strategy and measure its progress, we’ve created a structure that reflects our firm wide commitment to responsibility, from the Responsibility Steering Committee to ESG analysts and investors as well as the infrastructure that supports them.

People Driving AB’s Approach to Responsible Investing

Our teams help drive and guide our firm-wide efforts in advancing AB’s corporate responsibility practices and polices, implementing strategy and providing clients with responsible solutions and communication that meet their needs.

Principles for Responsible Investment

AB has invested responsibly for many years. We became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2011. This formalized our approach to identify responsible ways to unlock opportunities for our clients through ESG integration in most of our actively managed client accounts, funds and strategies.

Principles were developed by investors, for investors. We’re committed to implementing six principles as we continue to work towards our responsible investing efforts.
