Our approach to Human Rights

LBP AM and La Financière de l’Échiquier share a common purpose: "to enhance financial, natural, and human capital and support their clients in transitioning to more sustainable models." This ambition is part of a broader vision of an inclusive economy, where respect for Human Rights is a fundamental pillar.

A pioneer in socially responsible investing since the 1990s, the Group has structured its approach to systematically integrate environmental, social, and governance criteria into its investment processes. The Human Rights Policy formalizes this commitment and specifies the implementation methods. 

LBP AM and LFDE are committed to respecting internationally recognized Human Rights, understood in their broadest sense. As investors, both entities acknowledge their potential connection to the impacts associated with the companies in which they invest. They strive to identify, prevent, and mitigate these risks, while leveraging their influence when appropriate.

This approach is based on a due diligence system integrated into the investment processes through ESG ratings, norm-based exclusions, engagement activities, and issuer monitoring.

The Group is also committed to a process of transparency and continuous improvement, based on regular dialogue with stakeholders and periodic reviews of its practices.
