Climate change is one of the biggest issues on the global agenda. One that has the potential to impact businesses, economies and people everywhere. We�re actively looking to manage the impact of climate change and its related risks and opportunities through our investment approach. We're committed to:
We manage environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks to protect and enhance the value of our investments. By acting as a responsible and vigilant asset owner and using our influence as a major institutional investor, we encourage best practice from the top down and bottom-up. We believe it's vital we demonstrate a robust and effective approach to RI, and we see the integration of material ESG issues as an essential part of the investment process.
The policy should be considered alongside our Statement of Investment Principles (SIP), our Climate Change Policy and our overall RI framework and strategy�The SIP is the written statement governing our decisions about investments, and reflects the objectives and timeframes of our current and future beneficiaries and stakeholders.�
Beliefs As a long-term investor, we have�a duty to consider all financially material risk factors in our investment decisions, including climate-related. We believe climate change can materially impact businesses, markets and economies globally in a number of ways, from a societal perspective as well as environmental.
