Understanding ethical, social and environmental concerns is essential to our approach. Working closely with our in-house ethical research team, your investment manager will be able to identify the right investments for you, integrating your financial needs and ethical requirements.

Our ethical research draws on an extensive range of sources, such as:

• Corporate social responsibility reports
• Direct contact with companies
• Campaign group research
• Academic studies
• Newsflow

This information allows us to screen out companies whose activities do not match your ethics, such as arms manufacturers or companies with poor social or environmental performance. It also enables us to select investments you want to support, such as companies involved in environmental technology, education, healthcare or social housing.
