We do not finance or invest in companies linked to incidents of discrimination, harassment, or exclusion, and expect all companies to have robust systems and policies in place to prevent such risks and to foster a culture of inclusion and equal treatment. We exclude companies involved in serious or recurring incidents of discrimination or harassment without taking adequate corrective action, and large companies that do not provide accessible reporting mechanisms or lack clear, public policies against discrimination, violence, and exclusion.
We believe that every person deserves to be treated with respect, free from harassment, violence, and discrimination. This includes equal recruitment, pay, access to products and services, opportunities for career development, and advancement into leadership roles. Companies have a responsibility to foster inclusive workplaces and supply chains, respect the principles of non-discrimination, and support equal participation at every level of their organisation. Larger companies, or those operating in higher-risk sectors or regions, carry additional responsibility to implement formalised systems, such as comprehensive policies, employee training, and robust reporting mechanisms.
