BBGI promotes social characteristics. In accordance with its Article 8 SFDR classification, a minimum proportion of 75 per cent of our investments qualify as sustainable investments with a social objective, while we screen 100 per cent of our investments with the aim of ensuring that they do not significantly harm any environmental or social objective and follow good governance practices.
