UN PRI

In 2020, we became a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a voluntary and aspirational set of investment principles for incorporating wider ESG issues into our investment management activities.

• Principle 1: We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
• Principle 2: We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
• Principle 3: We will seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
• Principle 4: We will promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry.
• Principle 5: We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
• Principle 6: We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.

To ensure a comprehensive approach towards responsible investment practices, it is also crucial that we engage with stakeholders across various sectors. This includes not only investors but also communities affected by our investments and regulatory bodies. By fostering open dialogue with these groups, we can better understand their perspectives on ESG matters which may impact our decision-making process. Furthermore, this engagement will assist us in identifying emerging risks and opportunities related to sustainability that could affect our portfolios’ performance over time. Our commitment extends beyond mere compliance; it is about integrating stakeholder feedback into our core strategy for responsible growth.
