2024 Annual Sustainability Report

Throughout the year we refined our sustainable investing approach, through which we aim to deliver long-term value for our clients, in doing so recognising that this can create sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society. Our updated Sustainable Investing Guidelines detail our seven focus themes which cover both environmental and social issues, and the principles which underpin them. These themes and principles support our focus on maximising long-term risk-adjusted returns by seeking to build resilient portfolios to invest, protect and grow the long-term retirement savings of the working people that our clients represent.

We believe the case studies throughout this report exemplify our dedication to our sustainable investing approach across our asset classes. Highlights from the year include our partnership with Graincorp on the creation of a Sustainable Aviation Fuel supply chain in Australia, our partnership with industry superannuation funds to explore opportunities to invest in social and affordable housing at scale, and our Memorandum of Understanding with the UK Government.
