ESG & sustainability
This is a passively managed fund and aims to track the performance of a specified index by holding a portfolio of all or similar securities held in the index itself. The underlying index that this fund tracks is not an ESG aligned index and does not incorporate ESG criteria when considering companies for inclusion in the index itself. As such this Fund does not incorporate Environmental, Social or Governance (ESG) considerations into the investment strategy, nor are there any specific ESG screens applied for investments to be eligible for inclusion in the fund. Vanguard Asset Management (Europe), the investment manager of the Fund, believe that active stewardship helps to create long-term value for investors. As an investment product and service provider and distributor, Vanguard Europe has a responsibility to maximise long-term returns for investors and considers sustainability risks from a financial-impact perspective. Vanguard Europe fulfils its responsibility to investors by being judicious in the funds it offers, managing those funds with rigour and assessing material risks to long-term financial performance.
