How We Do Business


When it comes to deciding which businesses to partner with, we use the following three screening strategies:

 

Negative
Screening

We check against lists of excluded companies (e.g., manufacturers of controversial weapons, companies known for human rights abuses or inexcusable negative environmental, etc.) and reject these out of hand.

Positive
Screening

We prioritize companies with better Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) records than their peers, using a combination of our own analysis and third-party research.

Norms-based Screening

We screen against international standards of business practice, which is embedded into our credit and risk evaluation process.

 

While we recognize that we cannot control how individual businesses treat their workers or the environment, we do proactively monitor all agreements and look for ways to address potential issues.

We hold accountability and transparency in high regard. Our code of Ethics and Business Conduct and the terms of reference of our Board Committees can be viewed through the following links.
