Franklin Templeton’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program is integral to how the firm creates long‑term value for clients, employees, and communities. Anchored in strong governance, responsible stewardship, and a commitment to integrity, the program focuses on three core pillars: stewardship and sustainable investing, environmental responsibility, and people, culture, and inclusion.
As a global asset manager, Franklin Templeton integrates financially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into investment stewardship, including active engagement with portfolio companies and responsible proxy voting. Environmentally, the firm works to reduce its operational footprint through energy efficiency initiatives, green‑certified offices, and transparent climate reporting aligned with leading global frameworks. Socially, Franklin Templeton invests in its people through inclusive workplace practices, leadership development, and employee well‑being, while extending its impact externally through community engagement, charitable giving, and volunteerism.
In FY2024, employees worldwide participated in large‑scale volunteer initiatives, supporting education, financial literacy, disaster relief, and community resilience across multiple regions. Through these combined efforts, Franklin Templeton’s CSR program strengthens trust with stakeholders, supports sustainable economic growth, and reinforces the firm’s role as a responsible global corporate citizen.
