STRATEGIES USING A THEMATIC FRAMEWORK TO GAIN EXPOSURE TO A DIVERSE RANGE OF
SUSTAINABILITY MEGATRENDS.




WHAT MAKES A FUND SUITABLE FOR THE SUSTAINABLE PATHWAY?

Funds in this pathway use a thematic framework to gain exposure to a diverse
range of sustainability megatrends, such as the energy transition, financial
inclusion and digitalisation. Sustainable funds invest in companies with
products that benefit people and the planet, as well as companies leading the
sustainable transition and those expected to do so in the future. Ultimately, we
believe that companies with strong fundamentals – who are helping to create a
more sustainable world – should have resilient business models and an exposure
to growth trends.

Our Sustainable funds have the following in common:
 * The use of a thematic lens to identify companies contributing to
   sustainability megatrends
 * An emphasis on sustainable values, reinforced by industry exclusions
 * A sustainability objective that pits the portfolio against a reference index;
   for example, a fund in this pathway might aim to have a smaller environmental
   footprint than the index

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN PRACTICE?

Investors in our Sustainable funds can expect the following:


EXPOSURE TO COMPANIES ON A GROWTH TRAJECTORY, THANKS TO THE SUSTAINABILITY
TRANSITION

Our world is facing a sustainability crisis. From climate change to the loss of
biodiversity, a major shift in production and consumption habits is required,
and urgently. The companies we invest in are not only at the forefront of this
transition, they are thriving as a result. Championing products and solutions
that contribute to a more sustainable future, these are the businesses of
tomorrow, driving everything from financial inclusion in emerging markets, to
the electrification of historically carbon-intensive industries, such as mining.

A CLEAR PROCESS FOR CONSIDERING SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS

We believe sustainability megatrends represent an opportunity – in theory,
companies making a meaningful contribution to the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) stand to profit over the long-term. Our teams use
rigorous exclusions, proprietary sustainability scores and a clear thematic
framework to determine stock suitability, in this respect. Investors can expect
a sustainability assessment that carries weight, and feeds directly into
investment decision making.

IN-DEPTH REPORTING ACROSS AN ARRAY OF ENVIRONMENTAL METRICS

Our Sustainable funds target long-term capital appreciation and superior
environmental performance. Many pursue a smaller environmental footprint than
their reference index, and investors can therefore expect robust reporting on
metrics including carbon, waste and water.


A COMMITMENT TO PARTNERING WITH COMPANIES, LONG TERM


THE COMPANIES WE INVEST IN ARE ON A JOURNEY. WE, AS INVESTORS, CAN INFLUENCE
THAT JOURNEY.

Through engagement, we help companies realise their growth potential, both from
a financial standpoint and as ESG leaders. Collaboration is key – our teams
partner with companies to drive positive change from within, supported by our
world-leading stewardship service, EOS at Federated Hermes. With £1.2tn in
stewardship assets under advice (as of 31 December 2021), EOS has significant
influence and expertise.

pathway for?

A PROFITABLE, COMPETITIVE AND RESILIENT BUSINESS MODEL


EVIDENCE OF STRONG OR IMPROVING ESG FACTORS


PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT BENEFIT PEOPLE AND THE PLANET


SUSTAINABLE COMPANY

20 years ago, sustainability was not the board-level issue it is today. While
there did exist some vague notion of corporate social responsibility (CSR),
maximising profits remained the priority.

How things have changed. Companies must now consider a whole host of
sustainability issues – from climate change and disruptive technology, through
to human rights and diversity – just to stay afloat. 

Funds within our Sustainable pathway focus on exactly this: sustainability as a
corporate imperative. This range invests in quality businesses that are not only
run sustainably, but that drive environmental and social outcomes as ESG
leaders. Long-term investors, looking to explore sustainable change as a
potential source of alpha, may be suited to this pathway.



We have been at the forefront of investment and sustainability since 1983,
pioneering global stewardship, developing innovative ESG strategies, and
advocating for a financial system that works for all.

Our £1.2tn in stewardship assets under advice (as of 31 December 2021),
ground-breaking work in ESG integration, and the key role we played in
developing the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) illustrate both our
commitment and influence. 

When it comes to investing sustainably, our DNA, our culture and our history
enable us to stand out from the crowd. Just as a sustainable approach favours
responsible businesses contributing to positive, transformative change, our
firmwide objective – to deliver Sustainable Wealth Creation – seeks to enrich
investors, society and the environment, both today and for generations to come.

EOS at Federated Hermes – changing companies for good, from within 

We believe it is through stewardship that investors can best advocate for a more
sustainable world.

Our industry-leading stewardship service provider, EOS at Federated Hermes
(EOS), was founded in 2004, on a legacy dating back to 1983. EOS pursues
constructive engagements with corporate boards and executives on environmental,
social, and governance issues, enabling investors to be more active owners of
their equity and fixed income assets. Working with investors to change companies
for good, from within, EOS continues to evolve best practice stewardship,
supporting stronger financial performance and better outcomes for society.
