Corporate Responsibility Overview

Our Vision of Corporate Responsibility

At AB, we view responsibility as an active pursuit that unites all parts of our firm—from the way we work and act to our community service and the investment solutions we deliver to our clients. Whether you’re a global institution, financial advisor or high-net-worth individual, we’re committed to being your most valued partner.

Effective responsible investing must start with an unwavering commitment to being a responsible firm.

ESG integration and engagement are fundamental to our active investment and research processes.

Leveraging our perspective as a responsible firm and investor, we’ve designed Portfolios with Purpose to deliver specific ESG-related outcomes.

Responsibility Requires More Than Words

From our perspective, it’s impossible to separate the notions of corporate responsibility and responsible investing. We must have an unwavering commitment to being a responsible firm in order to be truly effective responsible investors.

Environmental Stewardship

We’re working to reduce our impact on the global environment—rethinking our business operations to use fewer of Earth’s precious resources. And we’re working to establish appropriate science-driven environmental metrics and targets for AB.

Social Responsibility

We’re striving to become a more dynamic, diverse and inclusive firm that engages employees, advances corporate social behavior and stays connected to our many communities.

Corporate Governance

Our business model is built on a strong risk-aware culture, prudent risk-taking and a robust governance framework that continues to evolve in the context of our limited partnership.

As responsible investors, we scrutinize the environmental behavior of every company we research. It’s critical that we turn that same lens on ourselves, evaluating the impact we have on the environment—and how we can become better environmental stewards.

Responsible Investing at AB Is Investor-Driven

To implement our responsibility strategy and measure its progress, we’ve created a structure that reflects our firmwide commitment to responsibility, from the Responsibility Steering Committee to ESG analysts and investors as well as the infrastructure that supports them.
