Our approach in 2023
Sustainable Investment and Stewardship report 2023
A focused approach
Given our size and knowledge, we focus on those areas where we believe we can make the biggest difference. Areas where we have strong expertise and data available to drive real progress and to measure it.
The energy and food transitions
We made progress aligning our assets under management with a long-term carbon intensity pathway of minus 7% a year. For the food transition, we want to contribute to transforming the food production system into one that works better for the people and planet. We do this by enabling our clients to invest in new opportunities and helping them understand the impact and dependencies on nature and biodiversity in their portfolios.
Dashboard 2023 and our tools
We organise our sustainable investment efforts around four pillars: Exclusion, ESG Integration, Active ownership and Positive Impact.
Top league impact
At Van Lanschot Kempen, we believe that investing for impact is not only the right thing, but also the smart thing to do. How did our top impact strategies – the Kempen SDG Farmland strategy and the Kempen Global Impact Pool - fare in 2023? We have also worked on fine-tuning our company wide definition of impact investing.
Looking ahead
The expectations of society, regulators and clients towards the asset management industry are growing.
