We have developed a unique and rigorous responsible investment framework. Our approach includes four key aspects; negative screens, positive screens, engagement and philanthropy. Our framework has been utilised since inception and is fully integrated with our investment process. Further detail can be found in our Sustainability Report and Responsible Investment Framework (links below).
We do not invest in companies involved in:
Fossil fuel (oil, gas, coal, tar sands) exploration, development and production
Providing significant services to the fossil fuel industry
Carbon intensive industries
Gambling
Production and manufacture of tobacco and nicotine alternatives
Military technology and armaments (including development, production and maintenance of nuclear weapons)
Old growth logging
Significant destruction of ecosystems
Carbon intensive agriculture
Animal cruelty
Prior to investment we also investigate the diversity of Boards and senior management, and policies and reporting relating to diversity, as well as screening for controversy.
