AMP Capital – The growing role of ESG in infrastructure
Giuseppe Corona, Head of Global Listed Infrastructure London, United Kingdom
5th August 2019
As a long-standing signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), environmental, social and corporate governance factors are integrated across all our major asset classes, including infrastructure.
When investing in infrastructure assets, we view ESG issues in the same way we do any other investment risks which have the potential to impact on the performance of an asset. By incorporating sustainability drivers in our investment process, the infrastructure team strives to find the right combination of ESG factors to help minimise the impact on the planet’s health, deliver essential services to those in need and contribute towards improving public trust in large corporations.
The AMP Capital infrastructure investment team have recently published a whitepaper on the growing role of ESG in infrastructure.
