Measuring impact

The impact of companies in our investment strategies

This report provides details on the impact of the companies
in our investment strategies, divided into two categories:
Environmental and Social.

Relevant metrics have been identified for all portfolio companies and issuers where data was available or could be estimated. The analysis includes all companies and issuers in which the strategies were invested as at 31 December 2023.

Environmental metrics include:

Avoided GHG emissions (tonnes of CO₂ equivalent)
Renewable electricity generated (MWh)
Water treated, saved or provided (megalitres)
Materials recovered/waste treated (tonnes)

Social metrics include:

Healthy and nutritious food provided (tonnes)
Individuals provided with access to essential financial services
Individuals digitally connected
Patients treated and/or supported by healthcare services

To provide real-world context, equivalencies for the environmental impact metrics are included, based on data for UK households and cars taken off the street.
