Our convictions
Since its inception, the core value proposition for investors and employees of Institutional Investment Group (“2IG”) and its companies has been based on placing a significant weight on sustainability factors in all actions and services.
Driven by our increased market position and social responsibility – but also by general social developments – we are committed to using our own sphere of influence to make a significant corporate contribution to a sustainable environment and society.
For this reason, 2IG has translated the general principles of sustainable corporate governance into its own corporate sustainability strategy, which makes sustainable action in and by our company binding and also takes into account any potential adverse effects on sustainability factors when making investment decisions.
The Institutional Investment Group is a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) initiative supported by the United Nations. This network of international investors is dedicated to establishing and putting into practice the principles of responsible investment. The PRI were developed by the investment community and reflect the view that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can affect the performance of investment portfolios and therefore need to be properly considered by investors if they are to meet their social responsibilities. By implementing the Principles, signatories contribute to the development of a more sustainable global financial system.
Launched in 2006 by the UNEP Finance Initiative and the UN Global Compact, the PRIs provide a voluntary framework through which all investors can integrate ESG considerations into their decision-making and ownership, and thus better align their objectives with those of society as a whole.
