Responsible Investment: Preserving Wealth with Purpose
At L’Heritage, our approach to wealth isn’t purely financial—it is deeply intentional. As stewards of generational capital, we believe in an investment strategy that does more than deliver returns. It upholds values, safeguards the planet, and ensures a legacy of positive impact.
This philosophy aligns with the principles of Responsible Investment (RI)—a movement transforming the future of capital allocation.
What is Responsible Investment?
Responsible investment is the practice of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions. It is not a sacrifice of performance—it’s a strategic lens to assess risk, long-term value, and impact more comprehensively.
According to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI):
“Responsible investment involves considering ESG issues to better manage risk and generate sustainable, long-term returns.”
Why It Matters for Today’s Investors
Modern investors—especially families of significant wealth—face growing scrutiny and opportunity. Responsible investment is now essential for:
- Preserving long-term value amid climate change, regulation, and social shifts
- Aligning portfolios with personal or family values
- Mitigating ESG-related financial risks
- Capturing growth in sustainable sectors
- Enhancing reputational capital and intergenerational trust

A Legacy That Matters
