Montanaro had three main objectives:
- To actively support the United Nations sustainable development goals (UN SDGs) and be as far removed from greenwashing as it is possible to be.
- To deliver attractive returns by investing in companies that make a positive impact: they never believed that investors had to sacrifice returns in order to do good. Quite the opposite. The UN SDGs seemed to them to offer a compelling investment opportunity.
- To make a difference: they wanted to set the bar high, raising it higher each year and leading by example. Montanaro Asset Management made a commitment at COP25 in 2019 to achieve net zero across its operations by 2030. Recently, they announced a goal to be carbon negative by the end of the decade and to remove from the environment all the carbon the company has emitted since its founding in 1991.
They believe they are the first UK asset manager to commit to these ambitious targets. Hopefully others will follow.
