Internal management or directly held assets are assessed in the same way we assess external managers.  An ESG RFP/questionnaire is completed during the due diligence phase.  Meetings are held to discuss the responses and an overall rating and view of the ESG risks and opportunities of an asset or manager are assessed and considered as part of the investment case.  Regular review and monitoring is also undertaken. Reporting frameworks are also in place.

Managers are required to fill out our ESG questionnaire during the appointment phase. If we feel they score low on a particular E, S or G issue we either meet to discuss and engage, or in the due diligence phase we may decide to not appoint on the basis of very poor E,S or G performance.  As a part of manager appointment process they are required to take into consideration our Responsible Investment Policy and report back to us on any of our E, S, or G concerns. Outputs include regular reports from managers and even ad hoc reporting in the event of a material breach of ESG issues. Review meetings are also held where appropriate.  PRI Guides have been used as an input into our overall questionnaire.
