In 2018, we focussed on laying the groundwork across our business lines and support functions for our first PRI reporting cycle. Workshops were conducted for all of our business lines and we are proud to report an increased awareness of how ESG issues are material to our core businesses. From investment banking and private equity to asset management and research, there is a new-found appreciation of the urgency of embedding ESG factors wherever we can.

We continue to take steps to align our business with the SDGs and to spearhead innovative and dynamic partnerships that not only fit our overall investment strategy and goals but also help make the SDGs a reality.
