We seek to act in their best interests by pursuing financial returns that aim to protect and grow the long term value of their investments, and contribute to the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the communities in which they live. Our responsible investment approach is closely aligned with the United Nations Global Compact and the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment, to which IFM has been a signatory since 2008.

Our Responsible Investment Charter Our Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Policy Our approach to investing responsibly The cornerstone of our responsible investment approach is understanding and managing risk as we seek to protect and grow members’ retirement savings. We integrate ESG considerations throughout the investment process to understand and manage risks and opportunities that could materially impact investment value and returns over the short, medium and long term. Within our broader responsible investment governance framework, our ESG approach is tailored to each asset class and its strategy, as outlined below. For further detail, please review our 2020 PRI Transparency Report and 2020 PRI Assessment Report. Infrastructure Debt Investments Listed Equities Private Equity Integrating ESG into infrastructure investments ESG considerations are important during the acquisition phase. We evaluate the ESG maturity of a potential investment, considering what will be required for that asset to attain the ESG levels we require of assets in our portfolio. As part of this process, we look for ways to enhance the ESG capabilities of an asset to create value for all stakeholders. We recognise the assets we own impact the lives of millions of people worldwide. As such, we believe we have a responsibility to improve the assets in a way that can allow consumers, employees, investors and neighbours to benefit from our approach to ESG. Whether we have a controlling stake or are part of a broader group of owners, in all cases, we seek to provide leadership that delivers on our priority for positive ESG outcomes.
