Investing to build long-term future prospects
We’re on a mission to create a better future for all our stakeholders.
At Blackfinch, we target growth for long-term success. We have a duty of care to all our stakeholders, whether its tech company founders, financial advisers, retail investors, borrowers, brokers, property developers, renewable energy operators, industry bodies, our own employees or institutional investors. Our actions need to ensure that we all thrive, both now and over the long-term.
We are a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), placing us at the heart of a global community seeking to build a more sustainable financial system.
We are increasingly aligning our policies, processes and communication to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – a universal call to action to tackle the world’s greatest challenges and a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
Identifying opportunities and manging risks – how we create positive outcomes for the future
We’re always on the lookout for investments that can create value and capital preservation. This means it’s important for us to consider a multitude of factors when assessing any potential opportunity.
Alongside fundamental financial factors, we have a wide range of considerations we use for initial screening. Our extensive due diligence processes assess factors such as the people involved, health and safety standards, impact on society, risk to the environment, geographic location, strength of governance and more.
We aim to deliver on our investment objectives responsibly and, where possible, make a positive contribution to the future prospects of the world around us.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
We’re developing our CSR framework to co-ordinate and consistently drive our business and social practices in the following areas:
The Client Environment
Adapting and evolving our products and services to ensure that they meet clients’ needs and aspirations.
The Community Environment
We will continue to engage with local and national bodies and support charity through sponsorship and fund raising.
The World Environment
We aspire to be a responsible entity and uphold our duty of care to ensure that we contribute positively to the planet’s future.
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The UN SDGs are a universal call to action. The 17 goals were adopted by UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 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.
