Ethical Partners firmly believes that climate change represents one of the most serious challenges for the world today, in terms of economic, political and human impacts. Ethical Partners also clearly understands the significant impact of climate change on the operations of the majority of companies and sectors in our investable universe.
As prudent investors who aim to reduce risk and find opportunity in investment, we therefore strongly believe that understanding and mitigating climate risk within our investments is a crucial part of our investment analysis, valuation and portfolio construction, as well as our company engagements and wider advocacy activities.
