Febelfin, the official Belgian federation of the financial sector, has awarded its “ Towards Sustainability “ label to DPAM’s actively-managed sustainable sub-funds. Today, DPAM manages over EUR 6 bn in sustainable strategies and invests in a multitude of asset classes, including equity, fixed income and multi-assets. In addition, a significant number of DPAM funds integrate sustainability aspects in their investment process.
The Board of Directors of the Central Labelling Agency (CLA) has closely cooperated with the CLA Eligibility Commission to determine which funds qualify for the label in question. The decision is based on the reports from an independent verifier (consisting of the academic institutions -ICHEC and UAntwerpen- and Forum Ethibel), which compare the alignment of financial products with the requirements laid out in the Quality Standard.
Hugo Lasat, CEO of DPAM, is pleased that the full range of DPAM’s actively managed sustainable sub-funds has now been acknowledged by Febelfin: “Sustainable Investment at DPAM is the result of 18 years of experience. We believe that sustainable and responsible investments are a structural trend which is here to stay. This conviction pushes us to continually invest in resources and research. Our track record proves that, over the long term, a combination of sustainability and financial management adds considerable value by creating a double alpha for the client. Going forward, we will maintain our robust commitment to sustainability.“.
As part of its commitment to sustainability, DPAM has been a signatory of the UN-PRI since 2011. In 2019, DPAM’s sustainability expertise received the UN-PRI’s highest rating (A+) for the third consecutive year. In addition, DPAM is also a proud supporter of the TCFD Recommendations and Climate Action 100+.
