Social Responsibility

We believe that the most important engagement we have is with an investment manager prior to our appointment to a board. In spending substantial time with each investment manager, and in giving impartial advice, each of our clients benefits from the extensive expertise and experience of our entire team.

PRINCIPLES FOR RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT

 

Azimuth became signatories of the PRI in 2020.

The PRI is the world’s largest proponent of responsible investment. It is an independent body, working to understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance factors. The PRI consists of an international network of investor signatories, incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.

The six Principles for Responsible Investment act as a menu for possible actions for incorporating ESG issues into investment practice. Azimuth endeavours to ensure that the Funds its directors govern are adhering to these principles where practical and incorporating them into their investment processes to the best of their ability.

PRI PRINCIPLES

  1. We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.

  5. We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
  6. We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.
