What is ESG?
Environmental: These are the things a business does which impact the environment and the natural world we live in.
Social: This is how a company manages its relationships with employees, suppliers, and the communities in which it operates.
Governance: This deals with things like a company’s leadership, executive pay and its adherence to high standards.
Smart firms are addressing these issues and smart investors know that.
Does responsible investing mean sacrificing returns on your money? Far from it. It’s become a key measure when looking at a company's future potential. Shareholders are increasingly calling for transparency and accountability on ESG issues. Our approach includes engaging with companies to address their environmental and social impacts, recognising the risks for those that fail to adapt. Responsible investment recognises the opportunities and the risks.
By thinking carefully about how and where we invest our pensions and other savings and through active engagement with companies, we aim to influence their strategies and encourage practices that align with ESG objectives.
