Manager's responsible investing approach

All of Impax's investments and strategies are aligned with the transition to a more sustainable economy. Activities with lower sustainability risks and higher opportunities are set to benefit from a transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon economy and are well positioned for the long term. 

ESG analysis is an integral part of the Impax investment process, at the company level. The analysis enables a deeper and broader understanding of its companies, their corporate structures, oversight mechanisms, risk management capabilities and processes and transparency. Impax seeks to understand the character of the companies through the ESG analysis. It takes into account relevant regulations when considering its approach to sustainability and ESG, especially as it relates to reporting and disclosures.
