Responsible investing is at the very heart of LGIM’s business. As one of the UK’s largest investors, it seeks to use its scale and influence to tackle a wide variety of ESG issues that they believe impact the value of its clients’ investments.
To embed these beliefs in strategies across both public and private assets, LGIM has established a fully integrated framework for responsible investing. Its approach is built on the concept of active ownership. Through ongoing engagement with companies, LGIM seeks to effect positive change in the businesses in which it invests and for society as a whole, in line with our Group vision of inclusive capitalism.
LGIM’s approach is founded on three steps to seek to deliver real, positive change through active ownership:
1. Identify
2. Engage
3. Escalate
Key risk: The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, you may not get back the amount you originally invested.
