Additionally, Blue Planet promotes the health and wellbeing of its staff, and actively encourages a work-life balance.
WORKING FOR BLUE PLANET
POLICIES
Blue Planet has a number of policies which it believes to be relevant in the prevention of slavery and human trafficking. These include –
-
an anti-bribery policy
-
an anti-money laundering policy and
-
a whistleblowing policy
The above policies ensure that Blue Planet checks the sources of the funds it manages and the clients it takes on to ensure that Blue Planet is not used to launder the proceeds of criminal activity, which includes that obtained through human trafficking and the exploitation of slave labour. Additionally, Blue Planet encourages its staff to report any malpractice at the earliest possible stage.
At Blue Planet we interpret responsible investment as the incorporation of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) considerations throughout our research and investment processes, while behaving as active stewards of our clients’ assets. Our investment team identify and evaluate the material risks and impacts to the environment and society that could arise as a result of a company’s operations. The risks associated with weak corporate governance practices are also considered. We recognise that ESG considerations are important drivers of investment performance, representing both sources of value and investment risks. Therefore, incorporating these considerations into our investment approach forms an essential part of our responsibility to our clients. We believe that investing responsibly will lead to better long-term outcomes for our clients.
Blue Planet endorses the Principles for Responsible Investment. To act as responsible stewards of our clients’ assets, we use our professional judgement to determine when to engage and how to vote at shareholder meetings to best protect the economic interest of our clients while being cognisant of the impact on all stakeholders.
