Corporate sustainability

We have a proud history of responsible investing, and we are also passionate about holding our own global operations to the same high standards of corporate behaviour and practices that we expect of the companies that we invest our clients’ money in.

Our Corporate Sustainability Report provides an update on the progress that we have made in our own global operations.

In 2022, First Sentier Investors became a globally Certified B Corporation (B Corp). B Corp Certification provides a framework that we can use to effectively assess our operations against high standards from an environmental, social and governance point of view, as well as to identify areas where we can enhance and improve.

B Corp certified companies are verified every three years on whether they continue to meet the rigorous and evolving standards.

We are proud to be taking the first steps in our Reconciliation journey to contribute more meaningfully towards positive social change between First Nations and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.

Our Reflect Reconciliation Action plan aligns with our responsible investment and corporate sustainability principles. With our heritage deeply connected to Australia, where we are headquartered on Gadigal land, at Barangaroo, we embrace the opportunity to learn and strengthen our relationships with First Nations communities.

We commissioned an artwork, ‘Mosaic Journey’ by Tarni Bene, a proud Mununjali, Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi woman, to reflect our commitment to reconciliation.
