Sustainability at Stafford
Our work in sustainability has been woven into our activities since inception. We recognise our responsibility to deliver for clients by taking a long-term, responsible approach to investing.
From the outset, Stafford was shaped by its vision and commitment to the highest standards of values. Grounded in sustainability and long-term alignment with clients, this vision remains true today and is core to the principles on which we operate.
SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
We believe that the management of both ESG risk and opportunities positively affects investment decisions and investment outcomes.
OUR BELIEFS
We firmly believe that Environmental, Social and Governance factors impact the investments we make and our core business of investment management.
As an active investor, we play an important role in ensuring our investments uphold commonly accepted standards of environmental protection, human rights, and good governance in a way that will enhance and underpin the financial returns that our clients expect of us and add long term value to the societies of which we are a part.
We believe that good ESG management leads to enhanced long-term financial returns, better investment decisions and a closer alignment of objectives among investors, stakeholders, and society at large.
OUR FRAMEWORK
Our commitment to sustainability is supported by an integrated and ambitious framework:
OUR APPROACH
ESG considerations in the full investment lifecycle
We integrate ESG considerations in all stages of the investment process, guided by the six principles of the PRI framework.
Our investment teams follow an extensive ESG integration process to assess material risk and opportunities for our investments, seeking to enhance sustainable financial outcomes, better investment decisions and long-term alignment among clients and society at large.
SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE
Dedicated committee to oversee implementation of our Responsible Investment Policy.
Members of the committee are sourced from across our business with expertise in responsible investing and ESG integration, sustainable investments, policy, strategy and client solutions.
