Our commitment

It is part of our fiduciary duty to manage ESG risks and opportunities across all asset classes when investing on behalf of our clients and in their interest.

We believe that by integrating ESG analysis into our investment process, we will be able to seek long-term performance by mitigating risk, identifying growth opportunities and recognising the financial value of intangible assets, while striving to achieve positive outcomes for the environment and society.

Our three core ESG themes

Climate. Empowerment. Leadership.

POLICIES AND REPORTS

Carmignac is committed to ensuring robust policies and processes, reviewed and overseen at the leadership level, to support our approach to sustainable investing.

Summary

As an active owner, we engage with our investee companies to influence them to appropriately manage ESG risks as well as seize ESG opportunities. By exercising our voting rights, we affirm our engagement in line with our sustainable approach during shareholder meetings. We use our voting rights and target 100% voting across all our equity and bond holdings.

Summary

As a responsible investor, we consider it part of our fiduciary duty to actively manage ESG risks and opportunities when investing on behalf of our clients.
We integrate ESG analysis into our equities and fixed income investment process via our proprietary ESG research system START (System for Tracking and Analysis of a Responsible Trajectory), which incorporates human insight and differentiated ESG data sources.

ACTING IN LINE WITH OUR CONVICTIONS

As an independent and responsible family business, we seek to act in line with our convictions in the management of our operations:

Climate

In order to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, Carmignac aims to reduce the carbon emissions of its portfolios through our engagement with the companies in which we invest but also by offsetting these emissions to achieve carbon neutrality.

Empowerment

As a majority family-owned company, we foster an entrepreneurial work environment which seeks to empower our employees. More than two thirds of our AUM is co-managed by women.
Our senior employees have access to a share ownership structure which contributes to creating a common alignment with our investors.

Leadership

Composed of the CEO and the Deputy Managing Director under the supervision of the Board of Directors, supported by an audit committee, a remuneration & appointments committee and the general assembly of the shareholders.

Carmignac is Carbon Neutral

Carmignac’s climate change concerns go beyond our emission reduction expectations for the companies in which we invest. We have therefore aligned our own policy to deliver carbon neutrality across our current and future corporate operations. 3,510 tCO2 have been offset in total for 2019, 2020 and 2021*.

*All Scope 1 (own facilities direct emissions) and Scope 2 (purchased energy) and partially Scope 3 (upstream employee commuting, business travel and IT services) emissions.

ESG is a key factor of success
