Responsible Investment is a strategy and practice to incorporate environment, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into investment decisions and active ownership. These factors include (non-exhaustively); climate change, pollution, human rights, modern slavery, employee relations, executive pay, board independence, conflicts of interest, clarity of organisational structure, delegation of authority, advocacy and corporate giving.
Resolution Life understands it has a responsibility to manage material ESG issues within its investments. If ESG matters are not managed adequately, they can become material investment and / or reputational risks.
This Policy sets out Resolution Life’s stance and commitments to addressing ESG factors in investments in line with the general philosophy of managing its investments and overall balance sheet in a prudent and conservative manner, with the objective of preserving the Group’s capital and financial strength while seeking adequate returns on its investments and operations.
