Our approach to responsible investing
As such, our activity includes a series of principles that contribute to the spread of conscientious and honest practices in the market economy we inhabit
We take into account environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in all areas of our work. Please click here to read our responsible investment policy.
One of our fundamental pillars in terms of governance is the close monitoring of the entities in which we invest, ensuring, among other things, that their actions are consistent with our ESG principles. You may consult our Engagement Policy here.
