Signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment

Investec Alternative Investment Management (IAIM or “Investec Alternatives”) is pleased to announce that it has become a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).

 

The PRI is an internationally recognised network of investors committed to incorporating responsible investment considerations into investment practices. As a signatory, IAIM joins a global community of organisations that have committed to the PRI's six principles, which provide a framework for integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decision-making and ownership practices.

Becoming a PRI signatory reflects IAIM's commitment to responsible investment and supports the continued evolution of its approach to assessing and managing investment opportunities across its Direct Lending platform.
