Why ESG matters at Capital Group

For nearly 90 years, our mission has been to improve people’s lives through successful investing. We believe integrating ESG considerations enhances every investment decision and can generate better long-term outcomes for our clients.

Rob Lovelace, vice chairperson and president of The Capital Group Companies, Inc., and Jody Jonsson, vice chairperson and president of Capital Research and Management Company, explain our commitment to ESG and how it is embedded in The Capital SystemSM.
