Responsible Investing
EdenTree are dedicated to responsible and sustainable investing, having launched our first ethical fund in March 1988. We have a 35-year track record in this space; it is all we do.
Our purpose – to transform the way people invest for a better tomorrow – underscores our dedication to sustainable investment, and the positive impact we seek to achieve through our investment activities.
Across our range of funds, we seek to invest in companies operating as sustainable businesses, as well as those contributing to environmental and social solutions. We believe consistent, long-term returns are more likely to be achieved by investing responsibly in sustainable businesses, and we integrate environmental, social and governance factors throughout our investment process.
Our research, available below, draws on a depth of expertise that has built up over 35 years in responsible and sustainable investing.
