ESG Objectives 

          We expect our fund managers to explain their approach to ESG issues to us.
        
          Our fund managers are advised that we do not want to invest in companies materially involved in armaments, gambling, tobacco and new generation nuclear power stations, and government bonds issued by states with high military expenditure or oppressive regimes. We also avoid extractive industries with poor human rights or environmental practices and all fossil fuel extractive companies. In the event that our fund managers invested in any of these sorts of companies or assets, we would expect them to let us know as a matter of urgency.
        
          We expect our fund managers to regularly report to us on, and update us on, how they integrate ESG into their investment processes.
        
          We expect our fund managers to report to us on all material engagements.
        
          We expect our fund managers to disclose their voting records to us.
        
          We expect our fund managers to be signed up to initiatives such as PRI and the FRC Stewardship Code.
        
          We expect that our fund managers will adhere to common standards of good practice in relation to ESG issues.
