Further remarks on the consideration of SDGs -
Rationale behind classification according to SFDR Article 8 It promotes Environmental/Social (E/S) characteristics and while it does not have as its objective a sustainable investment, it will have a minimum proportion of 50.00% of sustainable investments with an environmental objective in economic activities that do not qualify as environmentally sustainable under the EU Taxonomy and/or with a social objective. The Fund maintains a higher overall sustainability score than the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch Euro Corporate index, based on the Investment Manager’s rating system. The sustainability score of the Fund is measured by SustainEx™, Schroders’ proprietary tool that provides an estimate of the potential societal or environmental impact that an issuer may create.
Engagement Yes, organized internally Externer Link Link to engagement policy
Voting n/a Bond fund Externer Link Link to voting policy
Best-in/of-Class Best-In-Class The fund applies a best-in-class approach that is based on credible exclusions, our internal, proprietary ESG assessment, as well as third party ESG ratings. This approach results in a better sustainability profile for the fund compared to the reference comparator. While we continuously search for improving ESG stories also through engagement, we limit or divest ESG laggards in the fund.
ESG-Integration Yes We firmly believe that non-financial considerations including environmental, social and governance issues have a material influence on the sustainability of issuer cash-flows. ESG is fully integrated into our investment process. The fund applies its sustainable approach through: 1) Strict and credible exclusions, 2) inclusion of issuers that demonstrate stable and (importantly) improving ESG trajectory, 3) multiple sustainability themes, 4) engagement with issuers, 5) investing in green, social bonds and sustainability bonds, 6) creating a net positive sustainability impact at the portfolio level
Norm-based screening
UN Global Compact OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
Other Bribery and fraud i.e. companies flagged for severe business ethics failures
Themes
Climate change Agriculture and forestry Social projects Renewable Energies Biodiversity Water Education
The fund applies forward-looking sustainability themes (such as green energy, waste and water management, green infrastructure, responsible finance, social health and wellbeing, responsible sourcing and fashion) that frame and contextualize our credit research as well as engagements and portfolio construction.

  1. EU Taxonomy
    It is possible that reported KPIs for taxonomy eligibility and alignment (being limited to corporate issuers / including only selected economic activities) are low or that KPIs cannot be reported due to limited data availability. Data may be available with a time lag. Data comparability may be limited due to differences in the scope of the economic activities considered. As soon as data is available in sufficient quantity and quality, it will be published in accordance with regulatory requirements.
