Content block

The Content block component was created to offer an alternative 2-column layout option to our standard 1-column paragraph appearances. This allows the headline and introduction to the page content to stand out more, with the content indented down the page.

We’ve baked many features into this component, including the ability to:

  • Have a larger main section headline
  • Include a introductory paragraph (slightly larger text size than our default standard text size)
  • CTA and hyperlink capabilities
  • Add multiple H3 sub-sections with standard paragraph text size
  • Add image(s) and CTA options to the sub-section
  • Ability to turn component-level top padding on or off
    • Note: Use this is to solve “double” padding issues when stacking similar colored components together which may cause large gaps to appear, and get pre-approval for guidance from the Design Platform team

Sustainable investing is about investing in progress, and recognising that companies solving the world’s biggest challenges can be best positioned to grow. It is about pioneering better ways of doing business, and creating the momentum to encourage more and more people to opt in to the future we’re working to create.

 

Through the combination of traditional investment approaches with environmental, social and governance (ESG) insights, investors ranging from global institutions to individuals are taking a sustainable approach to pursuing their investment goals.
