Our approach

Our approach

Our strategy is to lead change

We are long-term investors, and we believe that the investment decisions we make today can have an impact on the world around us. 

First Sentier Investors places responsible investment at the heart of what we do. We are entrusted with our clients’ money, and we invest it with today and tomorrow in mind. Every investment team has the freedom to develop their own approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, but the common thread is a focus on considering how investment decisions may affect our clients, the communities we live in, and the physical environment.

Benchmarking our progress

As responsible investors, we are benchmarked against industry codes and standards. These help us to identify areas where we can make improvements and to develop reports to clients.

Two independent standards against which we benchmark ourselves are the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Assessment ratings and the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA) Benchmark Report.

We have been a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment since 2007. Our PRI Assessment results provide a useful independent benchmark of our progress against industry peers. In 2020, we scored an ‘A+’ rating in 7 of the 8 categories against which we are assessed and an ‘A’ in the 8th.
