We are passionate about protecting the planet we live on and reducing our carbon footprint. We closely engage with management to ensure that there is alignment on the strategic direction, focus, targets and reporting on environmental matters. We firmly believe that responsible investing and sustainable operating practices are integral to the longer-term delivery of the Company’s success.
We issue our Company’s Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) in our annual report, in accordance with the FCA requirements for Premium Listed UK corporates, where we provide responses across the TCFD’s pillars and aim to advance the maturity of our climate-related actions and disclosures on an annual basis.
RESPONSIBLE INVESTING
The Investment Manager’s fund selection process includes environment, social and governance (ESG) analysis as part of their due diligence. When the Investment Manager is selecting funds for consideration, we ask that they do not seek to exclude specific sectors but instead, understand how they manage and operate responsibly with regards to these issues; including companies that make significant use of energy resources. In addition, the Investment Manager is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment, which demonstrate their and our commitment to responsible investing.
The Investment Manager’s Responsible Investing Policy is available on the Hanseatic Group website at www.hansagrp.com.
