Responsible investment

With fewer than 250 employees globally, 3i has a relatively small direct impact in terms of the environment and other sustainability issues. However, with assets under management of £13.6 billion, we have the influence and opportunity to have a greater positive impact through the decisions we make within our portfolio.

We are, therefore, committed to investing responsibly. We have a clear and comprehensive Responsible Investment (‘RI’) policy which is embedded into our investment and portfolio monitoring processes. In our experience, companies with high ESG standards are typically better run, better at identifying and managing their business risks and opportunities for growth and generate better earnings growth.
