Responsible investment

Responsible investment is about preserving the value of your portfolio by considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues when making investment decisions, engaging with companies and voting. It also helps to protect people and planet.  

In these pages we explain our approach to responsible investment and provide information on our activities in this area.
