La stratégie en matière d’investissement socialement responsable (ISR) de la société repose sur trois piliers :
Une politique active d’exercice de ses droits de vote, sur la base de lignes directrices publiques.
Le respect de principes universels tels que ceux du Pacte mondial de l’XX. A ce titre, les gérants des mandats de gestion active européenne, qui représentent au 31 décembre 2005 plus de 5 milliards d’euros, ont pris un certain nombre d’engagements vis-à-vis la société.
L’incorporation dans les processus de gestion des portefeuilles et les décisions d’investissement de critères environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance, facteurs de soutien à un développement durable. Le lancement d’un appel d’offres dédié à l’ISR pour un montant indicatif de 600 millions d’euros a permis au société de sélectionner, au 2ème trimestre 2006, les gérants dont la philosophie est la plus proche de la sienne et de travailler avec eux, dans la durée, sur la prise en compte des critères environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance.
Dans le cadre de cette stratégie, le société a pris part, en 2005, à l’initiative de l’XX visant à promouvoir des comportements responsables de la part des investisseurs et a apporté son soutien, en 2006, à d’autres initiatives telles que le Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) ou la recherche académique dans le domaine de l’ISR.

Les contraintes prudentielles de la société
La société est soumise à différentes règles qui limitent son exposition au risque. Il ne peut ainsi :
• employer plus de 5 % de son actif en instruments financiers d’un même émetteur (sauf exceptions).
• employer plus de 25 % de son actif en actions ou titres donnant accès au capital d’entreprises ayant leur siège social hors de l’espace économique européen.
• posséder plus de 3 % des actions ou titres participatifs d’un même émetteur.
• s’exposer au risque de change au-delà de 20 % du total de son actif.

The socially responsible investment (SRI) strategy of the company rests on three pillars:
An active policy of exercising its voting rights, based on public guidelines.
Adherence to universal principles such as those of the Global Compact of XX. On this account, the managers of the mandates of European assets management, which represent more than 5 billion euros as on December 31, 2005, have made some commitments to the company.
Incorporation into the processes of portfolio management and investment decisions of environmental, social and governing criteria, as factors supporting sustainable development. The launching of an invitation to tender offered to the SRI for an approximate amount of 600 million euros, has enabled the company in the 2nd quarter of 2006, to select and work with managers who share their philosophy taking into account the environmental, social and governing criteria.
In 2005, within the framework of this strategy, the company has taken part in the initiative of XX aimed at promoting responsible investor behavior and in 2006, has given its support to other initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) or academic research in the SRI domain.
