Sustainability at Macquarie Asset Management (MAM)
We assess a range of commercial factors including material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities, before actively investing in companies and managing our portfolios over their holding period. This is part of our fiduciary duty to clients.
A responsibility and an opportunity
We manage a diverse suite of investment capabilities and asset classes on behalf of our clients, with different levels of ownership in, and influence over, the businesses we’re invested in. Because of this, the way we exercise our rights and responsibilities as stewards varies between the public market and private market businesses of MAM.
Consistent across both businesses, however, is our materiality-based approach where we focus on ESG matters that are most important to each company, its employees, and customers, alongside the jurisdictions, industries, and communities in which it operates.
For the public markets business of MAM, ESG factors are integrated into our investment teams’ processes. We encourage investee companies and issuers to enhance their disclosures, as well as act on material sustainability risks and opportunities, through direct engagement and by exercising our proxy voting rights.
