Principles

Through our investment approach, which emphasizes reducing climate change's harmful impacts, we demonstrate our commitment to responsible and sustainable investment. Our goal is to achieve not just financial returns, but also positive environmental and social outcomes by incorporating ESG principles and Impact Investment values and following socially responsible investing.

The following are the ways in which our approach aligns with these principles:

1. ESG Integration: Integrating environmental, social, and governance factors into our investment decision-making process enables us to evaluate companies' sustainability and long-term viability more comprehensively. This integration enables us to identify companies that are actively working to reduce their environmental impact, promote social well-being, and maintain strong governance practices.

2. Environmental Focus: The environmental challenges posed by climate change are particularly important to our investment strategy. Investing in companies that are committed to reducing their carbon footprint, transitioning to renewable energy, and adopting sustainable practices allows us to contribute to the broader effort to curb climate change.

3. Long term value: The value of sustainable investing is often aligned with long-term considerations, since companies with strong environmental, social, and governance profiles have a greater capacity to handle future challenges and are more resilient. As climate change requires sustained efforts over time, this focus on long-term value creation is consistent with this belief.

4. Positive Impact: By supporting companies that contribute to environmental sustainability and social well-being, we aim to have a positive impact on the world in addition to financial returns.

5. Engagement & Stewardship: Engaging with companies to advocate for improved sustainability practices and transparency can impact corporate behavior and help to promote positive change.

6. Impact Measurement & Reporting: Managing our investments in a manner that measures and reports their environmental and social impact forms part of our investment strategy. By reporting on climate change and sustainability challenges in a transparent manner, companies can improve accountability and encourage their efforts.
