As an active investor, we believe we have an important role to play in engaging companies to encourage responsible business practices. As a result, we frequently engage companies on a range of issues from accelerating the transition to a net-zero-carbon economy to human rights issues.
What’s more, the Federated Hermes Pledge underpins our firm-wide commitment to always put clients first, and to act responsibly and transparently. Specifically, it encourages staff to “act with consideration for our community and the environment both now and in the future” and asks us to encourage others to do the same.
It follows that we are keenly aware of the need to act as a responsible firm ourselves - and this extends to our recycling practices.
To mark Global Recycling Day, we highlight the recycling efforts at 150 Cheapside1 in 2019:
As an asset manager, our goals are to help individuals invest and retire better, to help clients achieve better risk-adjusted returns, and to contribute to positive outcomes in the wider world. That’s why we are committed to acting not only as a responsible investor but as a responsible firm too – and we will continue to focus on our recycling efforts to safeguard our planet for future generations.
