We integrate material ESG factors into most of AB’s actively managed strategies (approximately 80% of our actively managed strategies as of March 31, 2024). AB engages issuers when it believes the engagement is in the best financial interest of its clients.
Our Vision of Corporate 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.
ESG integration and engagement are fundamental to our responsible investment and research processes.
Leveraging our perspective as a responsible firm and investor, we’ve designed Portfolios with Purpose to achieve financial objectives with a dedicated ESG focus.
How We Act
Environmental Stewardship
We’re working to reduce our impact on the global environment—rethinking our business operations to use fewer of Earth’s precious resources. And we’re working to establish appropriate science-driven environmental metrics and targets for AB.
Social Responsibility
We’re striving to become a more dynamic, diverse and inclusive firm that engages employees, advances corporate social behavior and stays connected to our many communities.
Corporate Governance
Our business model is built on a strong risk-aware culture, prudent risk-taking and a robust governance framework that continues to evolve in the context of our limited partnership.

Our Strategy
Responsibility Throughout AB
To implement our responsibility 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.
We’re committed to being leaders in responsibility—both in how we act as a firm and how we invest on behalf of our clients.
