Abstract

[fre] Face à des investisseurs institutionnels plus orientés vers le long terme et devenant sensibles aux enjeux environnementaux et sociaux, les Nations Unies ont lancé en 2005 un processus de construction de « Principes de l’investissement responsable ». Malgré des désaccords, notamment sur leur finalité, axée sur la seule amélioration du couple rendement/risque ou intégrant les conséquences de la gestion d’actifs sur la société, les experts et les investisseurs associés au projet ont élaboré des engagements de responsabilité auxquels ils sont prêts à souscrire. La Caisse des Dépôts, très présente dans cette démarche, développe pour son propre compte une intégration de critères environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance dans la gestion de ses actifs, avec deux caractéristiques originales : l’ensemble du portefeuille est concerné et les réflexions portent sur la gestion obligataire. . Classification JEL : G11, G23, M14 [eng] Global Principles for Responsible Investment : a process involving the world’s major institutional investors under the auspices of the United Nations . In response to the increasingly long-term focus of institutional investors and their growing sensitivity to environmental and social issues, the United Nations launched the Global Principles for Responsible Investment process in 2005. Despite areas of disagreement, in particular over the aim of such principles - improving the risk/return trade-off or integrating the consequences of asset management on society - the experts and investors involved in the project came up with a set of commitments to responsibility that they are willing to embrace. Caisse des Dépôts, which played an instrument role in this process, is currently working on integrating environmental, social and corporate governance criteria into its own asset management. What makes its approach particularly original is that it encompasses the entire portfolio, including the management of fixed-income investments. . JEL classification : G11, G23, M14
