Sustainable investments are crucial for the future of not only our world, but also for our portfolios. Because now more than ever, we need to find the right balance between people, society and the environment. At ABN AMRO, we are aware that we need to take our responsibility, and have many years of experience in the selection and promotion of sustainable investments that are also profitable. This way, by choosing sustainable investments, you’re not only considering the future of our planet, but also your own future and those of your children and grandchildren.
If you invest with ABN AMRO, you will find an overview of the sustainable impact of your investments in your webportal (soon also in App)*. You will be able to see how sustainable your investments are, whether your investments are achieving suitable benchmarks and what your contribution is to the various treaties that are aiming to make the world more sustainable. More information is available on the following web pages.

We want to invest in emerging markets to contribute to the UN’s sustainable development goals. These countries often need funding to further their economic progress, reduce poverty and invest in basic needs. At the same time, people often associate companies in these countries with corruption, pollution and poor working conditions.
We also look at ESG ratings and any controversies surrounding listed companies in emerging markets, and we select only the best companies. We have also selected several funds that invest in unlisted companies in emerging markets, which consequently do not have an ESG rating. However, the fund managers make sure the companies in these funds have a strong ESG policy.
Modern nuclear power is a relatively 'clean' way to generate energy. The CO2 emissions are minimal and modern nuclear power plants are far safer than the older generations. They also produce less nuclear waste. Nuclear power will remain an important part of the energy mix if we wish to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. Even though modern plants produce minimal amounts of nuclear waste, this is still a problem when it comes to public opinion.
We will generally not invest in companies that are involved exclusively in nuclear power generation. However, we may invest in energy companies with nuclear power operations in addition to other forms of energy. Or rather, we invest in green bonds issued by these companies. These are bonds whose proceeds are used specifically to fund sustainable energy projects, such as wind turbines and solar panels. We also want to encourage companies that are involved in nuclear energy to invest in renewable energy via these bonds.
