Responsible investing

NZ Funds wishes to build sustainable long-term relationships with our community. We believe that  aiming to avoid investing in companies that do not meet our environmental, social and governance standards can help improve the duration and quality of our relationship with clients, advisers, employees, owners and the companies in which we invest.

Many countries have committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by the middle of this century. The transition requires extensive global infrastructure creating significant investment opportunities.

To support our aim to ensure clients are invested in a socially responsible way, NZ Funds has contracted with an independent third-party expert, ISS ESG. ISS ESG is a global provider of data and analytics that support investors in integrating environmental, social and governance factors into their decision-making processes.

The investments we make on your behalf are shaped by our Responsible Investment Policy. Find out about the policy and why we think responsible investing leads to better outcomes for clients.
