Environmental, Social and Governance
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and impact investing in the real economy are at the heart of our investment approach
Addressing climate change is one of our Group’s key strategic growth drivers, which are set to deliver sustainable returns, as well as positive environmental and social outcomes.
Our key ESG objectives are summarised below.
Governance – Influencing the transition to a low-carbon economy
We are primarily fixed income investors, i.e. invest in corporate and government debt.
We leverage our in-house asset management business’ policies and commitments for compliance with ESG initiatives including climate frameworks.
That means our stewardship covers both the fixed income assets we own but also assets it manages on behalf of other clients.
We also engage with wider stakeholders and have been members of many environmental initiatives for over a decade.
For example, we’ve been a signatory to the UN Principles of Responsible Investment since 2010 and a member of the Institutional Investor Group on Climate Change since 2011.
