Our Culture
We place responsibility, integrity and client focus at the heart of everything our people do.
The Federated Hermes Pledge
Established in 2015, the Federated Hermes Pledge compels us to put clients’ interests first and to act responsibly and transparently. The voluntary commitment has been signed by 99% of employees at Federated Hermes Limited.
I pledge to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment and in accordance with my role, this covenant:
- I will act ethically, responsibly and with integrity.
- I will put the interests of our clients first, consistent with our fiduciary responsibilities.
- I will encourage responsible behaviour in the firms in which we invest and on which we engage.
- I will act with consideration for our community and the environment both now and in the future. I will encourage others to do the same.
- I will work with industry colleagues and other key stakeholders to develop and improve our industry’s contribution to society.
- I will treat my clients, my colleagues and all other stakeholders with dignity and respect and as I would wish to be treated.
- I will deal with our regulators in an open, co-operative and timely way.
- I will communicate clearly and honestly with all parties inside and outside our firm.
- I will manage conflicts of interest fairly between all parties.
