Industry involvement
To improve sustainability standards across sectors and promote the development of ESG within the investment industry, we support and collaborate with a variety of industry groups, organisations and initiatives. Our involvement with industry bodies and our public policy work allows us to drive the sustainability agenda at a market level. These efforts help to shape industry best practice, new governance norms and reporting practices. Furthermore, where we are a signatory, we are publicly declaring our support for the group or organisation’s vision and objectives. See the full list of organisations we support below.
