Responsible investment

The element of generating growth.

We consider responsible investment as part of the strategy to consistently create value for our investors.

For this reason, environmental, social and governance factors are incorporated into the investment process and active ownership. Since 2009, we are long standing signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), annually participating in the PRI reporting and assessment cycle and provides regular feedback on our sustainability actions.

We have received A or A+ scores in the Strategy & Governance and Private Equity modules from the PRI since 2015. In 2020, we received an A+ rating in both modules.
This places us in the top percentile among 2000+ signatories.
