Our Responsible Investment policy is embedded into our investment and portfolio monitoring processes and sets out our stewardship approach. This policy sets out the types of businesses in which 3i will not invest, as well as minimum standards in relation to ESG matters which we expect new portfolio companies to either meet or commit to meeting over a reasonable time period. The policy applies to all our investments, irrespective of their country or sector.
3i’s objectives as set out in the RI policy are to invest only in businesses which are committed to:
|
