PGIM Sustainability Philosophy

At PGIM, our Sustainability philosophy and approach is active and client-centric. It is aligned with our overall investment beliefs, our active investing approach, the fiduciary responsibilities we owe to our clients and our strategy to broaden our investment capabilities while seeking to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for our clients’ evolving needs. PGIM’s Sustainability philosophy is based on our view that analysis of environmental, social and governance factors is an investment tool, which can be used to serve different purposes including:

MANAGING INVESTMENT RISK

Environmental, social or governance factors can impact the value of clients’ investments. Considering all material factors is fundamental to generating attractive risk adjusted returns.

IDENTIFYING  INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Attractive investment opportunities may arise from the transition to environmental sustainability, shifting societal trends and consumer preferences.

Addressing Clients’ Sustainability Preferences

Investing in line with clients’ values, sustainability objectives and preferences.

Creating real-world impact

Driving tangible, measurable positive real-world impact for clients who target impact-focused investment objectives.
