Our commitment

It is part of our fiduciary duty to manage ESG risks and opportunities across all asset classes when investing on behalf of our clients and in their interest.

We believe that by integrating ESG analysis into our investment process, we will be able to seek long-term performance by mitigating risk, identifying growth opportunities and recognising the financial value of intangible assets, while striving to achieve positive outcomes for the environment and society.

Our three core ESG themes

Climate. Empowerment. Leadership.

ACTING IN LINE WITH OUR CONVICTIONS

As an independent and responsible family business, we seek to act in line with our convictions in the management of our operations:

Climate

In order to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, Carmignac aims to reduce the carbon emissions of its portfolios through our engagement with the companies in which we invest but also by offsetting our own operation’s carbon emissions.

Empowerment

As a majority family-owned company, we foster an entrepreneurial work environment which seeks to empower our employees. More than two thirds of our AUM is co-managed by women.
Our senior employees have access to a share ownership structure which contributes to creating a common alignment with our investors.

Leadership

Carmignac’s leadership structure is tailored to our firm’s identity and values as a family-owned and entrepreneurial business. In practice, this means that Carmignac family members – the founder, Edouard Carmignac, and his daughter, Maxime Carmignac – are respectively Managing Director and CIO of Carmignac Gestion and Chief Executive Officer and Director of Carmignac UK Ltd.

Carmignac is Carbon Neutral

Carmignac’s climate change concerns go beyond our emission reduction expectations for the companies in which we invest. We have therefore aligned our approach to deliver carbon neutrality across our current and future corporate operations. 4,530 tCO2 have been offset in total for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022*.

*All Scope 1 (own facilities direct emissions) and Scope 2 (purchased energy) and partially Scope 3 (upstream employee commuting, business travel and IT services) emissions.
