As an engaged investor with long-term assets, we believe that our portfolio companies achieve stronger performance when sustainability considerations are embedded into our company culture and strategies.

Our equity holdings in these companies allow us to be active stewards that can influence these organisations to integrate sustainability into their operations and adopt sustainability-driven initiatives that deliver long-term value for us and our stakeholders.

Our responsible stewardship approach is streamlined into three steps:

1. monitor ongoing due diligence to assess business performance, governance practices, risks and opportunities;
2. engage with regular communication by the Board, Management and senior executives on sustainability matters and influence actions and
3. leverage equity holdings to vote on sustainability issues, drive outcomes and increase or decrease our holdings as needed.

Our sustainability practices and disclosures are benchmarked through independent assessments, including FTSE Russell Ratings, providing objective insights into our governance quality, transparency, and management of material ESG matters. These insights inform our ongoing efforts to strengthen sustainability performance and disclosures.
