The Fund promotes, among other characteristics, environmental and/or social characteristics without having a sustainable investment objective.The Benchmark and the Fund are constructed based on Candriam's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) proprietary approach that aims to select the best corporate issuers. The analysis of ESG aspects is integrated into the selection, analysis and overall assessment of companies. Issuers are evaluated on the basis of an analysis of the business activities (how companies' activities address the key sustainable challenges...) and of the stakeholders (how companies manage material stakeholder issues including employees, environment...).The Fund also seeks to exclude investments in companies which do not comply with certain internationally recognised standards and principles, or which are significantly exposed to certain controversial activities or which collaborate with countries considered to have highly oppressive regimes.Finally, the analysis and selection process is also accompanied by active stewardship, in particular through dialogue with the companies and, as a shareholder, through voting at general meetings.For further information, please refer to the website of the Management Company and/or the prospectus.The Fund has not filed for the French SRI Label.It is expected that the Tracking Error (the v
