Anaxis AM is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its responsible investment strategy: our first investment in Blue Bonds within our corporate bond funds, classified as Article 9 under SFDR regulations. This choice underlines our commitment to sustainable development and the preservation of marine ecosystems. The bonds were issued by Saur, a key player in the management of water services.
Blue Bonds are innovative financial instruments that support projects linked to the sustainability of the oceans and aquatic resources. By including these bonds in its portfolios, Anaxis AM is helping to protect the environment while offering attractive returns to investors.
This investment is in line with our ESG policy. We recognise the importance of sustainable management of water resources and the development of appropriate infrastructure. This is why we aim to align our investments with initiatives that promote the preservation of water resources and the circular economy. We pay particular attention to improving distribution infrastructure, water treatment and wastewater recycling.
In this context, we comply with the DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) principles, in particular by avoiding projects that could compromise the quality of water resources or increase water stress. Specific sector exclusions reinforce this approach. We have excluded the agricultural chemicals and packaging plastics sectors. We do not invest in the fossil fuel value chain, which excludes offshore exploitation and maritime transport of hydrocarbons. Our ethics committee also monitors controversies. Nine companies have been excluded by the committee in connection with damage to water resources.
These coherent initiatives aim to reduce our environmental footprint while meeting investors’ growing expectations for products with a positive impact. As a responsible asset manager, we are proud to support initiatives that combine financial profitability with a contribution to the protection of our planet. With this investment in Blue Bonds, Anaxis AM is strengthening its position as a leader in the field of sustainable investment.
