Candriam Sustainable Equity Circular Economy I USD Acc

The objective of the Sub-Fund is to benefit from the performance in global equities of companies that provide solutions aligned with a transition towards a circular economy. The circular economy represents an alternative to the current linear economic model (“extract, manufacture and dispose”) and aims to reduce the need to extract raw materials while reducing waste generation. This objective is implemented through a discretionary management. The selection is mainly based on the securities’ financial characteristics, their contribution to the transition to the circular economy as well as the analysis of ESG aspects. This objective is aligned with the SICAV’s sustainability objective to contribute to greenhouse gas emission reduction and the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Indeed, the transition to a circular economy where the need to exploit natural resources is reduced or eliminated represents an important lever to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
