The duty of Equitix must always be to promote the interest of its beneficiaries by seeking a good return on their investments. We believe this can be entirely consistent with a socially responsible approach to investment.

Equitix considers Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors at each stage of its investment process.

We will incorporate ESG policy and request socially responsible analysis and reporting within corporate governance of the projects we own and manage through our Fund.

In turn we report on, develop and review our SRI policy periodically to incorporate the evolving needs of our investors.

As Socially Responsible Investors, we are committed to engaging with partners, advisors and other organisations in a constructive way to achieve a positive agenda for change both reactively, prompted by events, and also proactively, highlighting the issues that matter to our investors.

We are supporters of a number of important initiatives relating to responsible and sustainable investment. This includes the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (www.unpri.org) and UK Social Investment Forum (www.uksif.org).
