ANZ Investments has signed the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). The PRI is a set of principles designed to provide a global benchmark for responsible investing.
“ANZ Investments is committed to responsible investing because we believe it is in the best long-term interests of our investors and society too,” said ANZ managing director of wealth Craig Mulholland.
As a signatory to the PRI, ANZ Investments is now part of an international network of investors working together to develop a more sustainable financial system.
More than 1750 parties from 50 countries have signed up to the principles, which include:
- Incorporating Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) issues into investment analysis and decision- making processes.
- Being active owners and incorporating ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
- Seeking appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
- Promoting acceptance and implementation of the principles within the investment industry.
- Working together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the principles.
- Reporting on our activities and progress towards implementing the principles.
