Sustainability at Barings

Our Commitment

We strive for sustainable practices from our colleagues, in our communities, and in our world. As such, we believe we should lead by example with our own corporate behavior. We have made commitments to act in a responsible and sustainable manner when conducting our own corporate activities.

Our Corporate Sustainability

Our corporate sustainability approach is made up of three pillars:
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We’re driving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion across our organization, as well as our investments—because diverse minds create opportunity for us all.

Barings Social Impact

We believe it’s everyone’s work to improve the status quo. Whether through mentoring, volunteering or financial giving, we empower our staff to drive the change they want to see in their local communities.

Operational Sustainability

We've made a pledge to reach operational net zero by 2030 and have used carbon offsets to achieve global operational greenhouse gas neutrality.

Our Investment Approach

ESG Integration

Our focus is to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns for our clients and our analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, among a number of other material factors, supports this goal. By incorporating ESG risks and opportunities, we can gain better insight into the investments we make, allowing for a more holistic understanding of complex risk and opportunity, in the pursuit of maximizing returns for our clients.

Stewardship

We regularly partner with stakeholders to encourage improved transparency and sustainable practices in pursuit of minimizing risks and maximizing returns for our clients.
