Stanhope Capital, the global investment firm, is pleased to announce that it has become a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
The PRI is the United Nations-supported, world’s leading proponent of responsible investment. It works to understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and to support its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.
Jonathan Bell, CIO at Stanhope Capital, commented:
“Becoming a signatory to the internationally-recognised Principles for Responsible Investment reflects our perpetual commitment to managing client portfolios in a responsible manner.”
“An increasing proportion of our clients include ESG criteria in their investment requirements and even before becoming a signatory to the PRI, as part of our investment process we have always assessed the ESG policies of the managers we select,” concluded Bell.
