We believe one of the most important factors influencing a company’s returns is the way a company behaves and that companies whose practices are sustainable are more likely to generate better long term returns for its investors. Analysis of ESG issues helps us better understand the operating risks and opportunities each company faces, as well as their alignment with shareholder interests. We incorporate our examination of these research issues into our valuations and ultimately our range of portfolios.
Aviva Investors is proud to have been the first Australian fund manager to sign the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment in May 2006.
