Directly invested in a selection of green, social and sustainable bonds from the best issuers in terms of ESG practices, it has just been awarded the "Towards Sustainability" label developed at the initiative of "FEBELFIN”, the Belgian Federation of the Financial Sector.

The Belgian sustainability label is one of the strictest in Europe. It combines three requirements: transparency, ESG analysis (environmental, social and governance) on all the portfolios and all the exclusions with low threshold. This label is a guarantee for investors that they are investing in companies with a well-defined and transparent sustainability strategy.

As a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment, the ING group is firmly intent on positioning itself as a player in the sphere of sustainable investment products. The ING ARIA Sustainable Bonds fund fits 100% into this approach. "We are very pleased to have obtained this label for our fund after a rigorous selection process. Its requirements are fully in line with our responsible investment approach and our desire to redirect investments towards projects and products with visible environmental and social benefits," says Gaëtan Salerno, Portfolio Manager at ING Luxembourg.
