Today we’re pleased to publish our approach to aligning with the Operating Principles for Impact Management (the Impact Principles), the impact investment industry standard for impact management.
We are proud to have been named a 2025 Practice Leader in BlueMark’s Making the Mark report for a third year in a row. The BlueMark Practice Leaderboard was established to recognise impact investors with exemplary impact management systems and practices. To secure a spot on the Practice Leaderboard, we achieved the highest “advanced” rating against every principle, reflecting our adherence to the core principles of robust impact management.
We’re a founding signatory to the Impact Principles, which were launched as a framework for investors for the design and implementation of their impact management systems, ensuring that impact considerations are integrated throughout the investment lifecycle. We continue to encourage the uptake of The Principles supporting the impact investing industry to scale with integrity.
Since 2020, we have disclosed our alignment with the Impact Principles on our website on an annual basis. We’re pleased to renew our commitment to the Impact Principles again this year. You can read the full disclosure statement here, and read BlueMark’s latest independent assessment of BII here.
We have also sought external assurance of the Impact Score, a tool to help us better manage our strategic impact on a portfolio basis. The conclusions of assurance provider EY on our Impact Score results for 2024 can be found on our website here.
