DESIGNING AND PROMOTING SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT FUNDS (SRI) In 2018, BNP Paribas Asset Management continued to develop its range of responsible products and services for retail clients and institutional investors. Its expertise is based on two complementary approaches: one of them focuses on engaged issuers (Best in class), while the other, theme-based, targets activities, products and services connected with environmental protection and/or social well-being.

30 ESG/SRI labels were awarded in 2018

■ For 13 funds: the SRI label granted by the French Government. Created in 2016, it aims to give greater visibility to savers in SRI products and to ensure that the products are managed according to sound methodologies, with strong transparency and information quality requirements.

■ For 5 funds: the Luxfl ag Environment label (major involvement in the environmental sector and high-level investor transparency);

■ For 2 funds: the Luxfl ag ESG label (quality of the selection method);

■ For 5 funds: the Finansol label (investments in the solidarity economy and microfi nance);

■ For 5 funds: the CIES (Comité intersyndical de l'Épargne Salariale inter-union employee savings scheme committee) label.

These labels confirm BNP Paribas Asset Management long-term commitment to develop and promote its range of SRI products.
