"Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)The Group is committed to the principles of good stewardship and responsible investment, as outlined in our Stewardship Policy and 2020 Annual Stewardship Report. We integrate ESG factors into our investment decision-making and ownership practices and this forms a core aspect of how we exercise our stewardship responsibilities on behalf of clients, in order to meet their investment objectives. Jupiter recently announced that we will align our business with the UN Global Compact Principles. Fund managers retain responsibility for integrating ESG within their investment strategies. We monitor our portfolios for potential UN Global Compact violations, such as modern slavery and child labour in company supply chains. This process makes use of third party ESG data, with assistance from the Governance and Sustainability (G&S) Team and oversight from the CIO Office. To further strengthen our commitment to responsible investment, we became an investor member of the Workforce Disclosure Initiative (‘WDI’) in November 2020. This initiative mobilises investors to ensure companies disclose comparable and comprehensive data on their workforce practices. Members of the G&S Team and investment personnel participated in a workshop on modern slavery convened by WDI in 2020." p. 2
