We use funds that demonstrate integration of ESG factors in their investment process. These funds consider risks and opportunities from environmental, social and governance factors to make more informed investment decisions.
We use funds and managers that can evidence a credible stewardship and engagement program. These managers can demonstrate how they use their influence to hold companies to account, encourage positive behaviours and exercise voting rights on the issues that matter.
We use funds that actively avoid controversial practices that do demonstrable harm to the environment and society. We don’t invest in funds that have holdings in tobacco producers, controversial weapons manufacturers or companies contravening the United Nations Global Compact.
We use funds which put money into companies whose aim is to make a positive, measurable difference in the world. These funds must disclose the positive impact to investors in, for example, an annual impact report.
