Strategy description
Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund invests in large-cap companies that demonstrate successful commercial solutions to our seven sustainable transition themes: Sustainable Food & Agriculture, Renewable Resources, Circular Economy, Sustainable Mobility & Infrastructure, Prosperous & Healthy People, Social Inclusion & Empowerment, and Innovation for Sustainability. Companies must also meet our market leading Triodos Minimum Standards covering product, process, and precautionary principles.
The fund integrates sustainability factors into fundamental company analysis, which presents more informed and robust company valuation opinions. We do this on a sector and industry specific basis, which enables our analysts and portfolio managers to make informed and contextualised assessments of companies within their competitive landscapes. Also, as a dedicated impact investment house with a 20+ year history of successfully working with listed companies to improve their sustainability profiles, we initiate value-enhancing engagement with all our portfolio companies.
We strive for positive impact alongside financial return that is in-line with the market, over a medium-to-long-term horizon (5+ years).
SRI Highlights
We value being transparent and sophisticated in our sustainability monitoring and reporting. Triodos Impact Equities and Bonds use ecological footprint data to measure the water, carbon and waste outputs of our portfolios. We publicly disclose our voting records and report progress on direct, indirect and collaborative engagement. And we publicly disclose our portfolio companies’ positive and negative impact on each individual SDG.
