What is ESG?

It stands for environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. At its core, it’s about investing with consideration for the impact firms have in terms of these. ESG is important in helping to create a more sustainable world.

ESG at Blackfinch

We have grown with the ESG movement and incorporate its principles across our businesses.

We work to ensure that any impact on the environment is positive; that we always consider social responsibility; and that the Group makes governance a priority.

By focusing on ESG factors as part of our process, we can know that firms in which we invest are also taking a responsible approach, now and in the future.

We’re committed to ensuring alignment with the SDGs, working towards ending poverty, protecting the planet and improving the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere.
