Our core approach
Responsible investing considers social and environmental good alongside an investment’s financial return. It is an umbrella term, which covers a variety of approaches.
Our core approach includes integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in our investment analysis, advice, and decisions, along with engaging with companies on behalf of our clients where we deem it appropriate and enabling our clients to invest in line with their values. For more information, please read our Responsible Investing guide and Responsible Investing Statement.

What is the E, the S and the G?
Environmental, social and governance (or ESG) are non-financial considerations that inform investment decisions based on an assessment of the risks these factors pose to your investments. ESG is not about what a company manufactures or sells but how it goes about it.
Environmental
Takes into account the impact companies are having upon the planet today and in the future.
Social
Takes into consideration the social impact the companies are having upon people in the world.
Governance
Considers the structure, procedures and practices by which a company is controlled and directed, including the diversity of senior management and their remuneration.
