Press release

Paris, 13 July 2017 – French pension provider Ircantec and Paris-based investment boutique CPR AM have formed a strategic partnership to develop new environmental, social and governance (ESG) filters largely overlooked by conventional ESG approaches. These filters will help enhance portfolio risk management.

Jean-Pierre Costes, Chairman of Ircantec, said: “Responsible investing is in our DNA and taking into account extra-financial criteria is instrumental in our decision to award investment mandates. The work we have done with CPR AM demonstrates our commitment to finding innovative investment solutions, and will add to the tools we use to invest over the long-term.”
Ircantec and Amundi-owned CPR AM have been working closely on this since 2016, developing a rigorous ESG approach for developed market equities and investment grade European corporate bonds.
