Our sustainability commitments, principles and ambitions apply across the investments we make as an asset manager and asset owner, and to our own business operations
We will consider sustainability and ESG factors when determining our corporate strategy and new business initiatives.
We will embed sustainability considerations throughout our business.
We aspire to be a thought leader, to innovate, and to advance understanding of sustainability issues.
We believe in active asset ownership and management which encourages companies to transition towards a sustainable future.
We consider the interests of all our stakeholders and ensure our views on sustainability are consistent with our longterm approach.
We will manage our businesses to the same principles of acting responsibly that we hold our investee companies to account on.
We review our sustainability thinking regularly in order to align with scientific and technological improvements, and changes in the global economy, ethics and consumer preferences.
We aim to use our influence as a global investor and asset owner to drive positive change in sustainability policy and corporate standards.
We integrate environmental, social and governance information into our analysis and decision-making across our investment teams and business lines.
We are active stewards of the entities in which we invest; this goes hand-in-hand with our active investment approach.
ESG is ingrained in our business activities through our corporate responsibility program. This includes our Barings Social Impact philanthropic program, as well as our focus on diversity, equity and inclusion across our business.
Our dedicated resources help develop and deliver our sustainability and ESG strategy, policy, partnerships, research, training and reporting.
We are a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment, a member of the United Nations Global Compact and Climate Action 100+, and public supporters of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. We work to advance the missions of these industry partnerships.
Our Sustainability Committee consists of senior business leaders and is tasked with supporting sustainability strategy execution. Our Sustainability Working Groups focus on long-term strategic projects and regularly meet and report to the Sustainability Committee.
