Our Vision of Responsibility

At AB, we view responsibility as an active pursuit that unites our firm—from the way we work and act to our community service and the investment solutions we deliver to our clients. Whether you’re a global institution, financial advisor or high-net-worth individual, we’re committed to being your most valued partner.

AB has a strong commitment to being a responsible firm.





Our vision for corporate responsibility is to deliver better outcomes to clients while upholding high ethical standards, building a strong culture, and promoting the future viability of our business.

ESG integration and engagement are fundamental to our responsible investment and research processes.





We evaluate and monitor the financially material ESG risks and opportunities of most of our actively managed investments, with a focus on delivering better outcomes for our clients. We engage actively and directly with the issuers we invest in, and we’re advocates for industry policies that enhance transparency and support efforts to manage material risks and opportunities on behalf of our clients.

We’ve designed our Portfolios with Purpose to achieve financial objectives with a dedicated ESG focus.





Providing innovative solutions for clients seeking an ESG focus—whether it’s investing in low-carbon issuers or sustainable themes—is an important element of our responsible investing approach. This effort draws on our learnings from industry partnerships, knowledge from research on risks and opportunities, and insights from engaging with corporations and other stakeholders.

 

Responsible Investing Throughout AB

To implement our responsible investing strategy and measure its progress, we’ve created a structure that reflects our firmwide commitment to responsibility, from the Responsibility Steering Committee to ESG analysts and investors as well as the infrastructure that supports them.
