Invesco’s commitment to sound investment stewardship


We believe that investing responsibly by incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices into our investment activities can positively impact the value we provide to clients - and help ensure a sustainable environment for future generations.

Invesco has been implementing ESG strategies for over 30 years, and we promote and advocate responsible investing through a range of industry forums such as the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI). As active, long-term investors, we seek to encourage the companies in which we invest to adopt best-in-class ESG practices.

As a result of our dedication to responsible investment, Invesco was awarded “ESG Innovation Asset Manager of the Year” by CIO / Strategic Insight (Dec 2018). In addition, PRI gave Invesco an A+ rating in “Strategy and Governance” for the second consecutive year.¹

A proud signatory of the PRI for six years, we are a trusted partner for our clients and relied upon to deliver sustainable performance over the long-term, in a way that helps people get more out of life.

The report features:

  • Invesco’s responsible investing approach
  • Examples of the wide variety of capabilities available across investment teams
  • Our differentiated proxy voting approach and 2018 results
  • ESG cases studies from across the business
