For the answers provided to SAM 04.1, this only applies to the BNP IP internal funds which management is delegated to external managers; in this case we require that those external managers respect the minimum ESG practices implemented by BNPP IP (notably through the exclusion of a list of companies that do not respect UN Global Compact principles, or that are involved in controversial activities/businesses).
Regarding the buy-lists of external funds in which BNP Paribas Asset Management/BNPP IP funds of funds can invest, FQA collects and analyses detailed information about Responsible Investment policies applied by the external managers and is thus able to communicate / provide an opinion the level of adherence of those external managers vis-à-vis the BNP IP Responsible Investments practices and beliefs.
