ESG Education and
Research.

We advance a more sustainable and inclusive economy by developing ESG knowledge in the community, and by furthering non-financial research that forges a holistic vision of the economy.

Supporting ESG education and research is a part of our identity.
Advancing the understanding of a sustainable and inclusive economy in academia and in finance, is for us the first logical pillar of our philanthropy.
Wim Van Hyfte Global Head of ESG Investments and Research

ESG: Supporting top-quality research and educating the broad community

We train financial advisers, intermediaries, the general public, and all our employees on ESG issues in investment choices and their impacts.

Through our academic partnerships, we support researchers and students to advance understanding of a sustainable and inclusive economy.

Our mission is to encourage ESG education and research as a natural part of assuming our responsibilities, and as the first pillar of our philanthropic initiatives.
