Responsible Investing

Responsible Investing

The responsible investment component of ESG investing, including the imperative to engage with stakeholders to ensure a sustainable environment in which to generate returns, is highly complex. It’s about putting the right things in place now to ensure sustainable returns in the long term. 

In this year’s report we have focused on a number of different areas across the ESG landscape. We have covered the progress made in governance over the past year, focusing on remuneration and board representation. We have also looked at how asset managers in the industry have collaborated on some key issues, and what the attitude to collaboration is in general. On the social side we have paid particular attention to skills development as a vital transformation enabler and accelerator. In past reports, we have focused on a particular asset class in our fund range and the impact of efforts being made in terms of ESG integration in that space. This year, we continue that reporting trend, with a look at the progress being made within the global property asset management arena.
