Sustainable Investment
Our sustainable investment approach is highly complementary to our overall value creation and underpins both social and financial returns.
Our Commitments
- To integrate ESG factors into the lifecycle of each of our investments, using defined processes and systems to ensure a consistent approach
- To take account of the perspectives and priorities of our stakeholders in making investment and business decisions
- To equip our team with the tools, guidance and confidence to be advocates for sustainable business practices within our investments, as well as our wider business community
- To actively engage with our portfolio management teams to promote and support active ESG management and the adoption of relevant standards and good practice
- To stimulate action on climate change related impacts on and by our investments, including risks and opportunities inherent in the transition to ‘net zero’ and a low carbon economy
- To further other universal sustainable business initiatives, such as diversity & inclusion and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, across our investments
- To promote the highest standards of governance, business ethics and compliance, both within our direct undertakings and those of our investments
- To keep our business practices aligned to the Principles of Responsible Investment and other important global sustainability frameworks, notably the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact
