What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social & Governance. These are key criteria for consideration when looking at best practice in Fund Management.
Our approach to ESG
Jenson is committed to implementing ESG & PRI (Principles for Responsible Investing) best practices both within the fund management and within its portfolio companies. ESG/PRI principles are inherently imbedded into Jenson’s values and company culture and have been since inception.
Guiding Principles
Sustainable Disclosure Regulation (SDR)
In early November 2021 the Chancellor, Rt. Hon Rishi Sunak set out his vision for the UKs version of SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) in the “Green Financing Roadmap”
What is the SDR: The SDR is the UK’s sustainability disclosure framework designed to ensure that sustainability information flows into the real economy in order to empower investors and consumers to make financial decisions which align with their values. A discussion paper on SDR disclosures will be launched in November 2021 and the requirements are unlikely to be in place for at least a further two years, likely in Q1 2023, before legislation is put to Parliament.
Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI)
Our Principles for Responsible Investing Policy is currently under review, once this has been fully reviewed we will share our key principles.
BCorp
Certified B Corps are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This is a community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using businesses as a force for good.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy is currently under review, once this has been fully reviewed we will share our key statement.
Key
Stakeholders
Investors, Investees, Jenson & Ecosystem. If we can work together as a unit we believe this will be to the benefit of all stakeholders whilst tackling ESG & PRI together for the wider ecosystem.
Investors recognise principled managers that have the same goal.
Investees proportionality must be built into the discussions around ESG and what is applicable to their size and scalability.
Jenson has always been inclusive, principled and conscious of creating positive growth outcomes for all stakeholders.
