How we inhabit
We believe change starts at home. We try to inhabit our own ecosystem in a manner that ensures a sustainable future for all. From the Green Team at our offices to our work in conservation and with communities globally, we aim to help preserve our natural world and support a better tomorrow for future generations.
Our corporate sustainability strategy is focused on five areas — energy, waste, water, sustainable travel and responsible procurement — with the aim of reducing and mitigating our carbon footprint.
Investec Asset Management Green, a grassroots initiative of champions within the business, drives our efforts to be more sustainable and ensures our actions are aligned with our mission to exceed clients’ expectations in everything we do.
