Principles for Responsible Investment

AB has invested responsibly for many years. We became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2011. This formalized our approach to identify responsible ways to unlock opportunities for our clients through ESG integration in most of our actively managed client accounts, funds and strategies.

Principles were developed by investors, for investors. We’re committed to implementing six principles as we continue to work towards our responsible investing efforts.
