Responsible investing is a core component in the way we research, select and manage investments. When we consider whether to invest in a company, we don’t just look at their financial performance. We also look at their environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, because we believe these are important drivers of long-term investment risks and returns.
The three core components of this approach are exclusions, ESG integration, and stewardship:
- We exclude some companies and industries based on their involvement in areas of harm, or for breaching global norms.
- For the companies we invest in or are looking to invest in, we integrate ESG considerations into our evaluation of a company.
- For the companies we invest in, we demonstrate our stewardship through engagement and proxy voting.
