ApproachPeople's Partnership Responsible Investment Policy is to ensure that investment strategy is set in the interests of our members and being conscious of Responsible Investment issues where they are material to those interests. We see Responsible Investment as having three elements which are, as far as reasonably practicable, seeking to: 1. Exclude companies from investment portfolios if they do not meet certain minimum ethical criteria, and/or proactively seeking out investments which are likely to have a positive impact outside of the company; 2. Shape portfolios to reflect Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors that could positively or adversely affect investment returns; and 3. Engage with companies in an investment portfolio regarding issues believed to have a material impact (both positive and negative) on future returns.
