We aim to invest your money in a responsible way.
IOOF’s long history provides many examples of positive contributions to individuals and communities. This dedication continues today as we increase our focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) action at a corporate level.
We recognise that if we’re to succeed as a business, we must carefully consider the sustainability of the environment and communities in which we operate - ESG targets are a key pillar in our corporate strategy.
Across our superannuation and investment businesses we apply ESG principles through Responsible Investment.
Responsible Investment means that we consider the following ESG factors, risks and opportunities in our investment process. This is important as it aligns to our goal of helping our clients to secure their financial future.
Our investment beliefs are outlined in IOOF’s Responsible Investment Statement which describes the role Responsible Investment plays in the assessment, selection and monitoring process of our externally appointed managers. We consider that:
The Responsible Investment framework is supported by our asset consultants, working together to continually improve and strengthen our responsible investment disclosure and process.
Engagement with our investment managers on ESG and climate change matters is key. Every six months, ESG scores and carbon intensity footprints are calculated on our underlying portfolios and the results are reported to the Investment Management Committee. We also undertake a risk assessment of our managers as part of our Modern Slavery policy and action plan.
Shareholders can influence a company's operations, corporate governance and socially responsible activities by voting. Proxy voting is where a vote is cast on behalf of a shareholder. While our proxy voting has been delegated to external managers, we assess voting polices as part of our broader due diligence framework and make sure that the approach considers both the best interests of investors, and our Responsible Investment Principles. Read our Proxy Voting Standard for more information.
In summary:
