ESG
As a firm we have a policy of Social Responsibility which runs through all we do from our attitude to the use of energy and recycling to the way we treat everyone we touch, our customers, our personnel and all those who supply us with the goods and services we need.
Wherever possible we get our supplies from sustainable sources and we ensure people, animals and the planet are treated with care and respect. This is embedded in our culture. We are now reflecting ESG screening across our active range and offering options for progressive sustainable, responsible and impact investing for those who want a to tread a path towards a better world. In doing this we always remember that we are managing investments. We invest in businesses that offer the prospect of good returns. If they do not then they will not attract the capital they need to make the world a better place. Incorporating ESG considerations and positive performance are mutually inclusive. Our mission for our customers is to make them satisfied, happy, safe and financially secure. We believe that our approach to incorporating these themes and styles offers a blend of all these qualities.
Efficient sourcing, reduction in waste
We have centralised ordering processes to ensure minimum environmental impact.
Effective partnering
We ensure that our partners have strong ESG credentials and insist on the highest standards and ethics.
People matter
We contribute to our local communities up and down the country, seeking to ‘give something back’ wherever we can.
As a firm we are committed to social responsibility and helping the world address the many challenges it faces. This ethos is embedded in all we do from our use of energy, sourcing of materials and recycling to the way we treat people, our customers, our personnel and all those who supply us with the goods and services we use.
Wherever possible we get our supplies from sustainable sources with the aim of ensuring people and the planet are treated with care and respect. This is embedded in our culture. When investing for clients we incorporate environmental, social, governance (ESG) screening across our active range of portfolios to ensure the challenges and opportunities companies face are part of our research. In doing this we always remember that we have been entrusted to look after and manage our clients money with the aim to generate a financial return – ESG factors are an important part of this and we seek to invest in businesses that not only offer prospects for good returns but ideally have strong ESG credentials too. We strongly believe that incorporating ESG considerations and generating positive performance are completely compatible, indeed the decarbonisation of the world economy is one area where we see huge investment potential. Our goal therefore is to generate the financial returns our clients seek making them financially secure, satisfied and happy.
