The company’s investment strategies1 have been awarded
Placing sustainability at the core of all its investment strategies, Gresham House has scored well above the investment industry median of an A rating.
The annual assessment report from the PRI, the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment, provides asset owners with a detailed year-on-year progress on scoring bands of responsible investing priorities and environmental, social and governance (ESG) engagement.
The company aims to generate long-term and sustainable financial returns for investors and focuses on ESG factors as part of its investment process. In addition, many of its investments align well with the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
Gresham House was also recently awarded the Green Economy Mark by the London Stock Exchange, which recognises the company’s commitment to making investments which contribute to a green economy.
“This is an outstanding result which confirms our position as a leader in sustainable investment, which is a key area of focus for us as part of our ‘GH 25’ strategy. This milestone achievement recognises our entire team’s commitment towards the implementation of a sustainable approach across every aspect of our business. We are excited to continue investing in the business with this at the forefront of our strategy.”
“Our PRI rating validates the strength of our approach to putting ESG and transparency at the core of everything we do. We are committed to a process of continuous improvement and will work hard to maintain and improve our scores as we continue to grow and embed ESG principles across the business.”
