The BNP Paribas Easy Sustainable EUR Corporate Bond UCITS ETF pursues an active investment strategy based on the Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Corporate Index. It focuses on the bond market for investment grade fixed-interest bonds denominated in euros and listed on eurozone markets. The main components of the portfolio are government, corporate, government-related, securitised and covered bonds. ESG criteria such as energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, compliance with human and labour rights and fair corporate governance are taken into account in the selection process.
The BNP Paribas Easy Sustainable EUR Government Bond UCITS ETF focuses on investment grade euro government bonds from the eurozone, which are included in the J.P. Morgan EMU Investment Grade Index. The active investment strategy also uses the ESG approach. Countries are screened against environmental, social and corporate governance criteria. These include climate protection, biodiversity, energy efficiency, environmental pollution, living conditions, education, healthcare, political stability, corruption and democracy.
