''In a few years, a set of sustainable investment funds was introduced under the ING label, with different sustainability profiles and their own investment manager. The sustainability profile varies from excluding 'wrong' companies to actual impact investing.
The concept of own, visible investment managers for these funds is continued in the beautifully executed reports, which gives the funds more 'face' for investors than the average sustainable investment fund in the Netherlands.

With this range, the bank makes it possible for the large group of investors that it represents to invest sustainably in an easy way.''
We thank the jury for these words of praise and the recognition.
The investment funds referred to by the professional jury are managed by the ING Investment Office (available in Dutch only) and are available through our investment concepts Easy Invest (available in Dutch only) and Portfolio Management.
