We were pioneers in 2009, as the first Spanish independent asset manager to adhere to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI). Since then, we have promoted the adoption of new ESG standards in all our investment strategies, as well as the development of financial products that proactively contribute to generating a positive impact on society and the planet. Our conviction is that we can make a positive impact on society without compromising our high return standards. At Arcano, we direct our efforts and our capacity for innovation towards this goal. As long-term investors in a large number of companies, we know that our decisions have an impact on customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Therefore, our primary investment responsibility is to conduct business with the highest ethical standards, while ensuring that we integrate key environmental, social, and governance issues into our investment process with a focus on managing risk and enhancing the sustainable growth of companies.
