Overview
Labour, Environmental, Social and Governance considerations
Resolution Capital has a long history of taking a responsible approach to investing and placesparamount importance on protecting its clients’ interests. Resolution Capital has been a signatory tothe PRI (www.unpri.org), since 2010, and a participant in the UN Global Compact since 2019.
ESG considerations are an integral part of Resolution Capital’s investment philosophy. ResolutionCapital believes these initiatives benefit the broader community and that strong ESG practices ofthe companies in which the Fund invests are likely to be additive to their performance and leadto investors ultimately being rewarded through superior investment outcomes. Resolution Capitalintegrates ESG considerations into its investment process to align itself with the six Principles ofUN the PRI and incorporates ESG factors in stock analysis and as discussion points for broaderengagement activities. Examples of ESG risks which may be considered by Resolution Capitalinclude poor workplace health and safety, high carbon emissions, and poor corporate governance.Resolution Capital’s ESG risk integration approach is primarily focused on assessing and managingthe potential financial impact (e.g. reduced future cashflows and/or permanent impairment ofasset value) resulting from ESG risks on investment assets. When reviewing potential investmentopportunities for the Fund, Resolution Capital will assess the risk of a permanent loss of capital dueto an ESG risk by identifying events that could occur as a result of an asset’s exposure to materialESG issues.
In terms of the extent to which the ESG considerations are taken into account, Resolution Capitalhas a framework it uses to assess ESG but does not apply a set methodology for taking such ESGconsiderations into account. Resolution Capital does not use a weighting system to apply a weight tothe standards and considerations.
Resolution Capital does not have a specific methodology for how labour standards considerations aretaken into account in the selection, realisation and retention of the Fund’s investments. In practice,Resolution Capital records labour disclosures where available, to the extent it has a financial impacton the Fund’s investment.
The integration of ESG into the investment process is supplemented by Resolution Capital’sengagement policy and activities, which are designed to optimise their ability to affect outcomesand enhance investment decision-making. Resolution Capital’s engagement activities include proxyvoting and it is the policy of Resolution Capital to vote on all proxy resolutions it has the ability tovote on.
