BNP Paribas Securities Services has signed up to the principles for responsible investment (PRI).
PRI helps clients to understand the investment implications of environment, social and governance (ESG) factors. It also supports its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into investment decisions.
In June, BNP Paribas launched ESG Risk Analytics, a solution designed to enable asset owners and asset managers to integrate ESG factors more easily into their investment decision-making process.
Patrick Colle, general manager of BNP Paribas Securities Services, said: “We are proud to have become a signatory to the PRI. This reflects our long-standing commitment to responsible investing. As a global custodian, we have an important role to play in helping our clients adopt and integrate ESG policies and demonstrate the value these can bring to an organisation.”
Colle added: “By signing the PRI, we are committing to continuing to develop solutions promoting responsible investing and to having a constructive dialogue with our clients on these issues.”
