Responsible investment

Our focus on strong stewardship, engagement and responsible allocation of our clients’ capital allows our investment teams to manage through volatility while addressing a range of complex global challenges.

Mark Steinberg

CEO of First Sentier Investors

Responsible investment principles underpin our investment approach

To contribute to a sustainable economy and society, we seek to collaborate with our clients, competitors and broader stakeholders. We do this by participating in industry forums, actively engaging with investee companies, regulators and policy makers, and publishing thought leadership.

At firm level we are currently focused on the following four key issues: climate change, human rights and modern slavery, diversity, and nature and biodiversity.

Our net zero journey

We believe that society must drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we are to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis. It has become obvious that immediate climate action is needed in order to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting rises in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.  

The individual and collective decisions we make as active investors can influence the nature and speed of this transition.

Building a better future

We have the opportunity and responsibility to allocate our clients’ capital in a way that drives positive social and environmental outcomes within the context of our investment strategies.

We have developed a range of tools to address some of the issues we face as investors, which enable our investment teams to confidently engage with companies, in search of tangible outcomes.

The commitments and targets set out on this website are current as of today’s date. They have been formulated by the relevant First Sentier Investors (FSI) investment team in accordance with either internally developed proprietary frameworks or are otherwise, based on the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change’s (IIGCC) Paris Aligned Investment Initiative framework. The commitments and targets are based on information and representations made to the relevant investment teams by portfolio companies (which may ultimately prove not be accurate), together with assumptions made by the relevant investment team in relation to future matters such as government policy implementation in ESG and other climate-related areas, enhanced future technology and the actions of portfolio companies (all of which are subject to change over time). As such, achievement of these commitments and targets set out on this website depend on the ongoing accuracy of such information and representations as well as the realisation of such future matters. FSI will report on progress made towards achieving these targets on an annual basis in its Climate Change Action Plan. The commitments and targets set out on this website are continuously reviewed by the relevant investment teams and subject to change without notice.
