Increasing our consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues help us better assess a company’s long-term risks, opportunities and the consequences of their activities on the world.

Responsible investing is not new. The need to reduce waste, be more efficient, treat employees, customers and the wider community well have always been fundamental to good business practice.

Responsible investing is about considering the global impact businesses have on the world and people around them. St. James's Place discuss their expectations and agree appropriate guidelines on ESG factors with their fund managers, and ensure that 100% of them are signatories to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. 

We have a great deal of information available about the application of responsible investment principles, so if you would like to know more, please ask. 

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.
