AMO Sustainability Report 2022

AMO has been publishing a “Stewardship Report” every year since 2018. This report informs stakeholders of AM-One’s philosophy and stewardship activities.
We are pleased to announce that the content of the “Stewardship Report” has been significantly expanded upon and the name of the report has been revised to “Sustainability Report”.
In this report, along with AMO’s previously announced Corporate Message “Creating a sustainable future through the power of investment”, we introduce the overall picture of sustainability transformation activities being executed to integrate sustainability initiatives into our corporate structure. As with the previous “Stewardship Report”, this report introduces AMO's ESG initiatives, supported by a wealth of examples.
AMO will continue to take sustainability seriously and aims to be an asset management company that contributes to creating a sustainable society and future for all clients.

Japan’s Stewardship Code

AMO has declared acceptance of the ‘Principles for Responsible Institutional Investors’, known as Japan’s Stewardship Code, to fulfil its fiduciary duty and stewardship responsibilities properly as a responsible asset manager. Japan’s Stewardship Code was established by the Financial Services Agency and refers to the responsibilities of institutional investors to enhance the medium- to long-term investment return for their clients and beneficiaries, including ultimate beneficiaries, by improving and fostering the investee companies’ corporate value and sustainable growth.

United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment

The AMO Group has been a proud signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) since 2013 (formerly known as the DIAM Group). As a signatory to the UNPRI our aim is to further fulfil our social responsibilities as an institutional investor based on our fiduciary responsibilities, acting in the best long-term interests of our clients and investors.

Montreal Carbon Pledge

AMO and the AMO Group became a signatory to the Montreal Carbon Pledge in October 2015 (formerly known as DIAM). By signing the Montreal Carbon Pledge, investors commit to measuring and publicly disclosing the carbon footprint of their equities portfolios on an annual basis.

The total amount of greenhouse gas discharge for 2018 was approximately 28,000,000 ton. This amount was calculated based on the number of shares owned by all our equities portfolios, as at October 2018. We will continue to disclose greenhouse gas discharge amount regularly.
